Search the Public Notice PortalBuilders have hit another milestone in the construction of Norfolk's first Costco as cladding is installed.
RG Carter, the developers behind the Postwick warehouse, say they are "making good progress" at the Broadland Business Park site, with the main steel frame for the 13,300 sqm building now complete.
They have also begun constructing the steel frame for the two-level car park, which will include 600 spaces and a tyre service facility.
It is also expected the building will be water-tight within the next month while specialist roofing works have also been taking place as the outer layer of the warehouse roof is rolled and installed.
The large store, which will stock bulk goods, will be the American wholesaler's first in East Anglia and will have products aimed at business owners and operate on a membership-only basis.
Costco stores also include a bakery, butchery and a service deli, which come as part of the 'club' membership.
But Costco bosses are yet to reveal when the store will actually be opening, saying specific dates can be affected by construction schedules and other requirements.
The development set for the Broadland Business Park, which is also home to a Premier Inn, Costa Coffee and the Broadland and South Norfolk Council offices, will include a petrol filling station and electric charging points, and is expected to create a minimum 160 permanent jobs.
However, not everyone is looking forward to the opening of the huge warehouse.
After plans for the site emerged, neighbours who objected to the new store feared the development would bring an increase in traffic to the area, particularly due to the proposed 600 parking spaces at the store, and disputed that it would attract a niche customer base.
Representatives for Costco stressed the store would not open until 10am on weekdays and would not have a significant impact on rush-hour traffic.
Costco has 29 locations across the UK but the closest is currently 100 miles away in Stevenage.
