Each house we get a little quicker. Each trip to the supply house I start finding cheaper material to use. I buy everything in bulk. I walk other houses being built after hours to pick up tricks other EC's are using. My helper is starting to get faster, and Im letting him do more.

That said, Im still open to any shortcuts, if anyone has them.

First lesson I had was wiring before the heating guy started. He cut my home runs. Boss wasn't happy with me.

Yeah, the biggest stuff goes in first. I always hated it when the GC's call me before the plumber or the tin knocker is done (or even started). I'm pretty good, but I don't have ESP. Drain pipe is not bendy, and the ductwork guys seldom have options. Our wire can go anywhere, so we've got all the options in the world. We rightfully should go last. The drawback is that this puts us on the critical path. If we get behind, that holds up the insulators and the cover-up inspections, and the drywallers. If you get a GC off his critical path, you're very likely to never work for him or her again.

I can understand wanting to do these tasks the fastest and cheapest to make a profit, but after years of working commercial and my years of experience roping in the early days I just can't see myself getting involved in this racket. With the prices i have heard in my market recently, i can not see why anyone would want to get involved with trac homes, let alone have to use blue plastic boxes to make a dollar.
