To my knowledge, there is not much gain on using self-climbing form since the starting level is 3 and climb up to 12 only.
To establish the system, you need to spend sometime, at least 3 weeks. For first 5 levels (min), you need consider those adjustment on self climbing together with learning cycle for worker, then the rest is steady cycle time.
Depend the size of the core, the cycle be from 4 days to 7 days per level.
Further, dont miss the additional plant for this system form, since it is higher than the normal working level, you have crane and concrete pump (may be) above the top level of system formwork. To set up those equipment, need time and resources.
Finally, consider the slender of the core, may not allow to build too high from the constructed floor slab.
