Typical totals for common SCV projects
| Project | Typical installed range |
|---|---|
| 10 ft prefab island with a built-in grill | $5,000–$10,500 |
| 12 ft custom straight island, grill and gas line | $10,700–$20,200 |
| 14 ft L-shaped island, grill, refrigerator and sink | $15,400–$28,300 |
| 12 ft straight island on a slope, grill, gas and lighting | $12,480–$24,160 |
| 18 ft U-shaped kitchen on a new pad, grill, side burner, refrigerator, sink, pizza oven, gas and lighting | $25,880–$49,360 |
The appliances are the line most people underestimate; on a mid-size island they often add up to more than the stone.
What moves the number
Island length and layout
Every foot of island is frame, finish and countertop. L and U layouts cost more per foot for the corners, seams and extra faces.
Finish
Stucco is the base; stone veneer and porcelain cladding add material and labor.
Appliance tier
A 36 inch grill can cost three times as much from one line as from another. The cutout and gas load change with it.
Distance to utilities
Every extra foot between the island and the gas meter, the panel and the sewer line is trench, pipe and conduit.
The ground under it
A level, sound patio costs nothing extra. A cracked slab, clay soil or a slope adds a pad, footings or retaining work.
Comparing written prices fairly
Two prices compare only when they describe the same island: the same length and layout, the same frame and finish, the same countertop material and edge, the same appliance models, and the same utility runs. A written price that names each of those, lists the gas, electrical and plumbing as separate lines and says what the permit and HOA steps involve is one that can be checked against another.
Detail is what makes two prices comparable.
