If you can verify that there's pressure behind those caps, i.e. that they're plumbed into the main system but sealed, then it will be very easy to finish. Any plumber could do it in 45 minutes max.
The drain too, just requires a fitting glued on to accept the chrome or plastic P-trap from the sink. That's even easier...like 10 minutes.
If you're wanting to get into this a little, go ahead and do this:
Buy a drain trap, and a suitable adapter for your drain pipe (probably 1.5" PVC, but possibly 2". Can't tell from the photo. Measure the outside, and tell the home labyrinth attendant, he'll get you the right one.). That'll get your drain attached, as long as there's one in the sink. If not, you need a sink drain to attach to as well.
Then get yourself this sink kit. This is what lets you connect your hot and cold supply lines to the faucet. No soldering required, just a clean end, push on, and you're done.
If you want to be sure this is hooked up right: turn off the water to the whole house and relieve pressure by turning on a faucet that runs. Make sure no other faucets run at all. Take a hacksaw and cut off the cap, staying as square as you can. Have a bucket ready, and have someone else SLOWLY turn on the water. If you get water out of both pipes, you're golden, and you're ready to proceed with the sink kit above. If not, slap a couple of these end caps back on the pipes and call a plumber...it needs more work.
