PreFab House Panel Cutlists

Hello,
I am a design engineer working for a company which manufactures prefabricated houses. These houses are basically made of UPVC panels which comes in long sheets. My job is to create a cutting list for these panels. One house usually uses about 100-150 panels.
The problem is, I can easily sketch out the panels in the house but while drafting and creating a cutting list, it takes me quite a lot of time. Is there any alternative way by which I can draft each and every panels automatically?
What I normally do is
1.start drafting and inserting the views.
2. Label each and every panels
3. Create a table (usually 4 rows in a page with panel description and its single view with dimensioning.

it takes me about 2 days to complete one house which is not what my boss wants :(

Thank you.
I use Catia V5
