Concrete reinforcing wall shuttering contractor

Need some help,

Had C.K.N. Construction out to do the start of my new yard and Joe has done one hell of a good job, problem is, in the times he's left me to go to another job before he comes back and finishes off he's underestimated just how much he's got to do and can't fit me in until February :eek: Only found this out over the weekend and now things are not looking good

Cows are needing to come in this winter and I really am in a bind... Got a 42M 3M high wall that needs footings digging out and pouring, all the yard to lay, the connection yard and drains to put in plus the shed to go up. I had planned to have him here end of the month and everything completed by end of October. f**ked isn't the word as I've nowhere to put the cows. There is about 300 cube of concrete to pour as well

Anyone know of a formwork contractor that can come and at least get this wall up so I can get someone in to finish the rest off? @RWG Contracts @concrete agri can any of you lads recommend me someone please?

Perhaps a silly question....but could you put up a panel wall instead? Be less labour to put up I would think and could be done in a fraction of the time if you had the right guys on it.

We have thought about a panel wall but by the time we’ve costed it and worked it all out not much in it if anything at all. I’d also like the backside of this wall to double as part of a slurry tank I intend to have built in the next 2/3 years so will need to be water/slurry tight. That and I just don’t trust the strength of a panel wall
