Hello,

I am currently working on a big housing estate 'house bashing'. Does anyone have some tips/strategy to work more efficient and productive ?

More haste less speed...

Set your self up with just the tools you need in a pouch or small bag and drag a box around with you for the rubbish.
I tie a long length of brown and blue sleeve to my belt for switches.
Don’t make unnecessary trips to the Van or to the skip.

Speed comes with experience
Might want to add some G/Y sleeve as well as the brown and blue, and a tap and wrench to clean out any damaged fixing lugs on the boxes, oh and a large baseball bat to smack the plasterer, when he fills in the boxes with plaster, just kidding with the last bit, harmony on site and all that jazz.
 
Sometimes its the little things that help a lot.
Some accessories come with captive terminal screws unscrewed ready to accept the conductor. Others come fully screwed so that you have to unscrew to allow the conductor to enter the terminal then re-tighten.
You may not have a choice if accessories are specified but I find it does help if only a small amount each time.
Push in connectors on light fittings help a great deal too.

Correction: Ignore that last bit, I got confused. The OCPD will still trip in time at the sum of the currents.
