Hutchies engaged Forged Group Australia for the reinforcement fix contract on the Dee Why RSL project. Great experience, nothing but good to report about the team, Maz was heavily involved. FGA always provided enough manpower and finished tying steel in time for each scheduled pour, I would use them again in a heart beat.
