Next level of DIY challenge as a first time home owner: building a kitchen room outside. Any recommendations?

It's not an outside kitchen. It's going to be a mini kitchen room outside of the main house; not too far though.

I got this space under my deck in the back of my garage. Two storey house.

Looking to build a 6m2 kitchen room and install a straight line kitchen.

Probably not going to have space for a dining table.

I haven't built anything like this so far.

There is going to be plenty of things to figure out.

Already hired a plumber for water supply and drainage work. Will hire electrician for electrical work. Rest going to be my own creation.

Found this straight line kitchen at Bunnings and IKEA got similar ones too.

Ia m going to have the entire area under the deck soon. And then build the kitchen.

I am looking for suggestions and recommendations on foundation preparation, building the structure, cladding, roofing, and kitchen installation.

Thanks

One side of my house gets hit hard by windy rain and water seeps inside the wall. Two story house. Garage wall is just a single layer of brick.
Only happens when it rains for long time and it windy that hits the wall.

I was recommended by a professional wall restoration guy to apply this product to repel the rain.

These products claim to be breathable.

Has anyone used on their wall? or know about these products?

Well, it's hard to accept the fact that I am going to fork out 20 to 30k to get this mess sorted out. Title insurance already denied my claim

So I need to fix it myself.

It has moved a bit further than what's visible in the picture.

Council issued a notice to regularize it. Also mentioned to remove it.

Not sure if they will accept fixing the structural issue and get it signed off.

Demolition is an option but I would like to keep it.

How do I go about getting it approved?

Should I hire a structural engineer and get it assessed whether it can be salvaged?

Can I get it approved once I fix the structural issue?

One unit is on a slab, another on the footpath.

Both areas get flooded which I am looking to fix which is why I am looking to get these up on the wall to get access to the slab to be rebuilt.

Upon googling, got confused.

Do they cause vibration up on the wall?

Does the vibration can impact the brick wall or any other fixtures in the house?

Well, I got the " Welcome to Newcastle" treatment this morning by a lovely lady at the station.

She punched me in the face. Luckily my hat saved my eye.

Police called. She is arrested.

I am kind of traumatized by the incident. Never had anyone raise hand on me in my life.

Cannot stop thinking about it.
