Progress Update at Starbucks, Stoke-on-Trent

Project Milestone: Moving into External Cladding

Octane Construction Ltd is pleased to provide the latest update on the Starbucks project in Stoke-on-Trent. After successfully completing the groundworks, foundations, steel frame, and watertight roof, the project has now entered the external cladding stage, marking a significant visual and practical milestone in the build.

Work is currently focused on the installation of the external cladding, including the canopy and downpipes. This phase not only defines the building’s appearance but also ensures protection against the elements as internal and finishing works progress. Following this, timber cladding, as well as windows and doors, are scheduled to be installed, bringing the project closer to its finished look. The building is beginning to take on the distinctive design and aesthetic expected for this high-profile roadside location.

Managing a Live Roadside Construction Site

Managing a live roadside project during the winter months presents unique challenges, from weather delays to maintaining safe access for passing traffic. Despite these conditions, strong coordination across all contractors and partners involved has kept the programme on track. Regular site meetings, careful planning, and close communication between teams have ensured that each phase transitions smoothly into the next.
