What Designers Say
Big River's coordination of the materials schedule was critical to keeping the build program on track across three storeys. The ArmourForm consistency meant our formwork teams could move between levels without re-learning the system.
Big River's formwork plywood was central to making our aged care facility happen. Their team understood the complex requirements of a Class 9c building and recommended the right formwork solution. Delivery was on time, every time.
