A granny flat kitchen is usually a kitchenette: a sink, two or three units, a compact hob and space for an under-counter fridge. The cabinetry is the cheap part.
The cost sits in bringing services to a building that never had them. Full method detail is under Kitchen Renovations Cape Town.
Say whether there is existing plumbing and power, and send the available wall length.

- Water and waste. The waste line needs fall to the main stack, and distance drives the price.
- Electrical. A second dwelling usually needs its own sub-board and often a separate circuit run from the main house.
- Ventilation. A recirculating extractor is the minimum; ducted is better in a small space.
- Approval. A second dwelling has its own municipal requirements, separate from the kitchen itself.

Establish the approval position before building anything. An unapproved second dwelling can block a future property sale or an insurance claim, and retrofitting approval afterwards is considerably harder than obtaining it first.
