Diy outdoor kitchen cost?

I remember seeing some diy outdoor kitchen posts over the past few years so I'm hoping yall can help.
Trying to get a rough estimate for a project Im planning. Going to get a slab poured, roughly 400 sq ft. and I'm planning to do a sink and cabinets with around 15 feet of counter space along exterior wall of house.
Grill won't be built in being that I just bought a new charbroil pit.
Not really sure what surface to go with for counters. Don't really want to go with granite due to the high cost. Any other ideas? I should be able to knock out atleast the framework for cabinets/counters myself.
Also, built in fire pit. Seems easy, but I'm sure there's more to it than laying down brick.
thanks for any help

I did something very similar to this a few years back.
Did all the labor myself.
20X20 slab poured and stained
3' brick wall down one side
Counter with sink and BGE hole down the other side
Undercounter storage with a treated wood cabinet door
Tile countertop with brick facing on the back and side
Front of counter was the faux stucco board painted
Small lamp post mounted into one corner of the slab
Materials cost was just over $4k and this was pulling water for sink from outside spigot (no hot water) and digging a french drain (no plumbing into sewer system). shite ain't cheap.

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.
