Well, i have found that the most important tools is not the shiniest device or the most powerful servers, but simply in using the amazing planning power of the pen and paper.
Pen and paper, especially in the early stages of planning and development of networks, will save headaches and a lot of hotfixes. Planning ahead,determining network topology, allowed services and such will save you time and effort, and save you from encroaching "scope creep". with your plan already laid out, getting to work will be easier as things will have mostly been organised in advance.
