When I first started doing electrical work we would wire TWO 1500 foot tract homes a day including hanging the service.....with a two man crew.
Because they wer small tract homes, layout was from memory because there were only about six models, and ceilings were only 8 foot and generally trussed. They also were not loaded with recessed cans and LV lighting.
For us, it was all about work methods. Do one job, using one set of tools then proceed to the next job with those appropriate tools. You don't need to drag all your tools with you when you are running wire, just dikes, hammer and staples.
The methods I remember are:
1. Layout (tape and marker), box (hammer), and drill (angle drill/sharp bit, ladder) everything.
2. Run and staple all romex. Do 1 circuit at a time so you don't forget jumpers!! Pull multiple home runs when possible. We never used those spinner things but they really do help.
3. Strip sheath and slip wires into boxes and make up. ( This practice has now been changed and they generally strip the sheathing AFTER it is placed in the box).
One "trick" I remember is for LV wire. Find a weighted object about the size of a golf ball, the heavier the better, and attach an eye hook to it. Tie your LV wire to it and you can chuck it over the ceiling joists4 or 5 at a time without a ladder.
I forgot the STORY POLE! Forget your tape. Put marks (or nails/screws) on a 1x2 at 16 and 48" for your outlets and switch box heights. Add your kit/ bath outlet heights also.
I probably forgot a bunch of other stuff also, it WAS the 70's afterall.
I always keep my lighting circuits seperate from my plugs,
No need for this. It will only cost you time and money.
