For some reason none of my workers will bother creating the kitchen i told them to create it and they refuse. I have a carpenter ready to build but he just wont build it

Is there any uncleared rock or other trash laying on the tiles the kitchen will go on? If so, have the dwarves dump it. Additionally, you might want to query the construction status of the kitchen. If the dwarves encounter trash, they'll suspect work. And won't resume work after the trash is gone.

It turns out my carpenter was glitched i have no clue what was up with him but i restarted the game and it was fixed

actually, it's very simple. The person building the kitchen isn't the carpenter. Each workshop is constructed by any dwarf with a labor active that uses that workshop. For a kitchen that is most likely cooking, carpentry for a carpentry (yay mr obvious me), any crafting skill for a craftsworkshop and woodburning for a charcoal thingy. So, having a carpenter ready to make a kitchen won't work at all. Real life notwithstanding, where I'd much rather have a carpenter make my kitchen than a sous-chef.

The wiki has a page on each workshop and what labor(s) you can activate in order to have someone build the workshop

I think when you "Q" over a workshop it says waiting for "xxxx" where xxxx is the labour needed to complete the workshop. Cooking for kitchens, carpentry for carpenters workshop, mason for masonry workshop etc.

Actually it's Architecture + Masonry for a wood furnace (assuming you build it out of stone, or a stone block).  Some of the workshops are special like that.  But the kitchen is indeed simply Cooking.

The various "furnaces" - submenu b-e - all need to be designed by an architect and built by a mason (or any metalsmith if you build them from metal).

The three "machinery" workshops quern, millstone and screwpress aren't built by the labour used in its operation: querns take no profession at all, millstone and screwpress take mechanics.

All other b-w "workshops" are built by the profession that actually works in the shop.
