Are there any rules for a creature that doesn't eat or sleep being able to craft mundane items faster?
Such as being able to roll twice per day for progress or something?
Nope. The creature doesn't get any benefits whatsoever, by RAW. It probably should, but it doesn't.
Do you have any suggestions for a houserule for it? I am the GM in this case.
According to ultimate campaign, the default rules for crafting act as though you are only working 8 hours per day, 5 days a week. So, either use it's rules for working seven days a week then multiply by 3, or use the rules for working day by day and multiply it by 3.
Thanks again, Milo.
I would multiply by 2 instead of 3. Just because a creature doesn't eat or sleep that doesn't mean it can work 24x7 without becoming fatigued. Or bored out of its mind.
My $.02.
The Pathfinder equivalent of a automated manufacturing. :) You could take on manufacturing, distribution, and retail sales, providing arms and armor at a fraction of the cost.

That is the player's intent.

Here's the question. Do you want to give it to him? You're the GM, you can easily say that golems aren't smart enough to work that way.
I'm aware of the "phenominal cosmic powers" that I have. I'm looking for input to help me decide how to use them. :)

I guess the best answer is, "nothing happens in a vacuum". Trying to do something like this is going to impact the local economy, social-political situation, and frankly even the balance of wealth and power. Different nations, governments, guilds, and average people are going to have wildly different reactions to skilled labor being replaced by, say, some upstart wizard using golems as a tireless workforce.
In a world where magic is readily available and more or less for sale, I would not expect this business plan to execute flawlessly.

What can I throw at him to mess with it? Taxes? Merchant guild coming in and demanding a cut?
You've been short on details and long on questions, so it's hard to be specific.
Maybe the local government doesn't want a bunch of constructs or elementals or what-have-you that are under the sole control of one person. They could just flat out not allow it, tax it heavily, subject him to inspections and tests to ensure the beings are under his control, require that he pay for scrolls or items to get rid of them or disable them if they get loose, etc.
On the civil end, there could be protests, demonstrations, guild troubles (up to including organized crime demanding a cut or threatening the biz outright), accidents, "accidents", etc.
The sky is the limit.
One thing to keep in mind is that he is probably not the first person in the world to have this idea. There's a reason why it's not already being done on a wide scale.

It's in Sandpoint for Rise of the Runelords. He plans to make a shop and eventually Create Demiplane to speed time. He will use constructs to craft stuff for the party mostly.
Its also possible that golem crafted items just are too shoddy to be reliably sold. Theyre not intelligent enough to detect faults in their work, which can happen completely randomly.
Some, he intends to make DO have intelligence. However the randomness of material is a good point.

Excellent point.
if they have an intelegence they can take 10 there for would not have any random results
Likely what he is planning.
Thank you all for the advice. I don't foresee him abusing this, but if he does, I will have some tricks up my sleeve.

Pardon my being flippant, but this problem will solve itself when Karzoug escapes because the wizard was distracted playing Empire Builder instead of Pathfinder.
Isn't fabricate a level 5 spell? so for a wizard level 9?
