Have a plan. I waste so much time staring into the screen (probably more time than i take to build) just thinking. Before you start building, have an image of what you want in your head, and then start building.
Also never get distracted. I lose so much time just being distracted instead of focusing on building.
If you are using buildings, models, etc that are nearly identical, use an asset storage map and organize it somewhat. Now, you have a massive area to copy and paste from, and all you’ll have to do is tweak them to create uniqueness
The time you take to build depends on what you are trying to build. If you building something small like a simple house for example you may be able to do it fast. However if you are building something bigger like a store it will take a longer amount of time.
But all together building is a long process and takes time to accomplish.
Hey Octavodad,
I recommend telling them that building faster = a lower quality product.
I totally not suggest rushing a build just to for the fact that they want you to work more rapidly as small details are the key to a masterpiece.
It kinda depends on what kind of build it is. Tell me this, how long do you usually build for?
As others have said, it depends on the type of game you’re making. Personally I’m a fast builder but thats due to practice and I already know what I’m making. This may tie into how long you’ve had a PC for as the more you type, the faster you get. This ties into your mouse as well as you just naturally become faster at doing things.
While I could not play your game (it costs 1000), your assets seem rather detailed so that’s why you are probably slower. Different styles also change your speed. Low poly is faster whilst more detailed builds are more complicated and slower to make. If you’re trying to go faster then try to cut corners (especially where players will not see, out of bounds)
Just keep practicing.
Why are you taking so long, though? It’s hard to answer this question without knowing what slows you down. Is it concept creation? Is it something to do with your knowledge on building?
If you want to build faster consider using hotkeys which are are a resourceful shortcut.
Not sure to be honest… I just build, and it seems to be really slow.
A good way to become a faster builder is by being motivated and setting a goal.
I personally found motivation to do GFX (I do build too) by looking at other people’s creations. I’m a lot quicker and a lot move motivated at doing GFX now just because I saw other people’s work that I liked. 
I think making an actual blueprint can help
Well, what have you been building so far? Can I see some photos?
Are the trees and grass made with parts or are they meshes?
This actually depends on your planning and experience. I have you have a decent amount of experience you’d know what to implement in certain cases.
Here are some plugins which are EXTREMELY useful:
Sorry that I couldn’t give you the links to them!
I wish you very good luck!
Generally I tend to try build faster too, building takes a long time to just generally get the correct details and design you want. There is no good to rush builds, it would be better making them at least suitable for what you want instead of having to change the entire thing or certain parts later. Trust me, rushing it will just make the final project turn out horrible, taking your time is the best option.
Meshes, to answer your question.
You don’t, building is beyond complex and when I have customers like that who rush me I tell them the truth that it isn’t going to be done in a snap of a finger. You should go at your pace of work and not have customers rushing you, however plugins make Development go faster so you don’t have to make every part perfect in terms GapFill, ResizeAlign, etc.
I think you need to countinue being your best and working at your pace to countinue creating your fantastic builds! As a builder for over 4 years I can say that over time you will learn much more about speeding up the progress of building.
Happy Building!

Having certain plugins that help, such as Archemedes and Resize/Align helped me immensely. I recommend having an asset map where you can store models, decals, particles, etc, for quick reference. As far as building faster? I suppose having good reference material would help, but beyond that, maybe your clients are being unreasonable?
