Construction Perk : Faster building.
Currently in the game the main way to increase your build "speed" is to get the better drills, but these don't technically increase the speed, they increase how much the bar fills but not how often, meaning a power drill hits at the same rate as a screwdriver it just fills the bar more. This is nice, but after realizing how good animation cancelling is to increase the hit-rate it got me thinking : Why couldn't that just be a perk?

SO
Construction level 7-8 : Speedy Contractor
Doubles "attack" rate of Screwdrivers, Drills and any other tools in the future made for constructing furniture.

This effectively brings up the QOL for our builders out there in the current gameplay loop as it cuts down the sometimes obnoxious amount of time you might have to take, especially after moving a base, in placing furniture and it also makes construction a potentially more active role if people desire even out in the field as bringing barricades might be more feasible when you can actually get them setup faster.
I'd rather it not be a higher perk level as construction isn't exactly a combative role that would break a balance from this being low, but obviously I didn't want it to be super low, so that's my excuse for the 7-8 positioning, it nestles nicely between the other 2 perks and is just a nice QOL addition for anyone who gets it.
