You can build mortarless concrete block walls very quickly and easily done. My wife and I built our 32' X 60' X 10' basement walls 11 years ago and came within 1/2" both level and square. Our previous building experience was a leaky dog house.
After the wall is up, we troweled (both sides) on a product from Quikcrete called Surface Bonding Material IIRC. Kept it damp for three days with a battery operated timer and lawn sprinklers, that's it. We would build the wall off the truck until it got too high. A ball park cost for a 10' X 10' wall is about $400.
