Two new contracts have been won by the new Totty Building Services regional team in Manchester.
Once completed, staff will decant from their offices on site, which will be demolished and landscaped, and be joined by colleagues from across the borough in their new purpose built facility.
Work on the predominantly three-storey steel frame office block commences at the end of February, and is due for completion at the end of September 2007.
With majority brickwork and cladding to the facade, the new building will also feature an extensive curved glazed entrance area and slate roof.
Environmentally friendly elements of the design include an ecologically sound rainwater harvesting system that stores water for use in w/c's.
Members of the public will benefit from a new one-stop-shop facility situated in the entrance of the new building, providing information and advice services, with the lobby area also used for small public exhibitions and displays.
The ground floor will also house a number of council meeting rooms, and departmental head offices.
The first and second floors of the new block will have an open plan layout, with Totty installing two lifts to provide access.
Externally Totty will form a large car park area and carry out extensive landscaping of the site, retaining many of the existing trees and planting new shrubs.
Mark Fairclough, managing director of Totty Construction's commercial division, commented: "The project to centralise office facilities for Congleton Borough Council represents a highly prestigious win for Totty Construction and we are thrilled to be working towards the goal of bringing Council facilities together on one specially designed site".
"The project team has worked tremendously hard over a long period of time to bring this project to fruition and I am delighted that Totty will be responsible for delivering such a key note scheme within the area.".
