Having an outdoor kitchen with high-quality stainless steel grills and built-in accessories, is the epitome of luxurious outdoor living.  Take outdoor entertaining to the next level, with one of these babies in your outdoor space.  They add great value onto your real estate, especially when you live in the Okanagan and the temperature is mild enough to enjoy your outdoor kitchen year round!

Here is a sneak peak of our most recent outdoor kitchen, located on a penthouse rooftop patio in Kelowna, overlooking Okanagan Lake.  These clients better get ready to create some pretty fine outdoor memories, talk about entertaining in style!  We love the client's choice of river rock, with a black slate tiled countertop.  This entire project was completed and managed by Mode Concrete, from ordering and installing the stainless steel Luxor appliances to organizing all the necessary trades required, we take care of everything and manage the entire project.  Best of all, we always stay on budget and on schedule!  

MODE CONCRETE deals with design professionals, building professionals and home-owners, to create luxury outdoor kitchens in the Okanagan Valley.  Having a luxurious outdoor kitchen has become the norm for people living in the Okanagan. Many designers, landscape architects and developers rely on our input and skill when it comes to the design and construction of an outdoor kitchen or grilling island.

Experienced contractors and builders often require MODE CONCRETE to assist in the design, installation (if required), and selection of outdoor kitchen grills and accessories.  We walk our customers through the process and design of creating a luxury outdoor kitchen.  People contact us because of our skill, knowledge, product line and design options.

Outdoor Kitchen Services:

• We will start by assessing your equipment requirements, available space, budget, and how we can integrate an outdoor kitchen into your overall design.  We have knowledge about the “do's and don'ts” of outdoor kitchen design and can advise you on different outdoor equipment options and various construction materials available.
• You can choose to have us build the complete outdoor kitchen or we can just build a outdoor kitchen frame, which you can finish with your own construction materials. You can have confidence that MODE CONCRETE has created all openings, cutouts, and clearances accurately, for your outdoor kitchen accessories and grills.  Our outdoor kitchen frames have amazing structural durability and are designed specifically for each individual project.

Before we do any work or start building your outdoor kitchen, we all sign the official contracts, get your approval on any designs and talk about any final questions we need to address before fabrication commences.  A deposit is needed to book you into our schedule (we get this when signing the contracts) and currently we are taking bookings for a month away.  An average outdoor kitchen usually takes 2-3 weeks to complete once we begin fabricating at your start date. We always stay on schedule, on budget and continuously receive glowing reviews from our clients.

Outdoor Kitchens Have Great Return on Investment

Outdoor kitchens will have a great return on your investment and make your home stand out when trying to sell. They encourage easy entertaining and create a personal oasis, increasing your personal enjoyment and adding value to your life. Who doesn't want their home to feel like a resort? Our outdoor-living season stretches from March through November, for those of us lucky enough to call the Okanagan 'home.' That means many buyers and and homeowners carefully evaluate and try to maximize their exterior spaces.  Outdoor kitchens, pizza ovens, pergolas, covered patios, outdoor fireplaces and outdoor bars are among the hottest alfresco trends right now.

Most homes have an outdoor eating area, and having an outdoor kitchen further encourages and enhances your outdoor living space.  Many of these kitchens have small cabinets with under-counter refrigerators. Some include sinks, most include a built in cooking unit of some sort (BBQ, grill, pizza oven, burners). The most luxurious items include cocktail stations and imported Italian pizza ovens.  Every outdoor kitchen needs one thing that sparkles and acts as a focal point to your kitchen - is there a 'must have' or anything that particularly stands out when you envision your outdoor kitchen?

Renovation quality is key when determining whether an outdoor addition will have a positive or negative resale effect on your space. Do-it-yourself projects can sometimes erode value, if poor materials or workmanship are used for the project. Research all your options before making any decisions and if you go with a contractor, make sure they are reputable and know what they are doing.  

And finally, the design is probably the most critical part of planning any outdoor living space.  What will maximize space, encourage easy entertaining, and not inhibit the flow of your space?  Most times it's best to get a professional designer and if you can, check out some 3D renders to really see how your space will look before you begin construction.  

MODE CONCRETE can help you with any component of your outdoor kitchen project. We offer free estimates and one free on-site consultation.  Contact us today to book your appointment.
