Check with your permit office, I had to tie into existing sewer. Pulling just cold water with under counter water heater. 14'x24' slab, covered with single gable roof, around 30 ft counter top J shape, doing concrete tops, building the frame out of metal framing studs, facing with stone, sink, ice maker, fridge, built in pit, and side burner, corner fireplace (same stone as bar.) Total should come out to just under 10K and Im doing most of the work myself, I had to use a plumber and electrician due to dumb arse city ordinance. Good luck OP, its a fun project so far. My main advice is plan, then have someone look over it for things you might not have accounted for.

Don't really want to go with granite due to the high cost
I went to a granite yard with measurements in hand and found some large pieces they messed up and got them cheap.

About to tackle this myself also, about the same as you're proposing. A friend used a surface that looks like granite but is called something like leather granite designed for outdoor use. Much cheaper I think, and looks great.

I basically just did a build in for my Primo grill. Built it up with masonry blocks then bricked it. On that I did a concrete countertop. It was really easy.
Build a form out of melamine, put wire in there and get to mixing. When you have it poured use something to shake the bubbles out.
You will the side that's down on the melamine will be your up side.

Depending on appliances and water-sewer requirements a good start would be $6,000 and it could go up quickly from there.
I am about to finish a covered one and spent $2,500 just to hook up water and sewer from my house an another $1,000 for a large propane tank setup.

This is great advice for DIY projects - non-standard projects and just people who aren't as picky as the $200+/Sq Ft. custom home builders are - but particularly for an outdoor kitchen.
Another outdoor option I like for a countertop is poured concrete - a good bit of your expense is going to be a new slab, anyway - get your concrete guy to cut you a deal on the countertop.
