Hi Jan, when it comes to cutting sheet rock (if price isn't an issue) you can buy a sheet rock cutting tool that works pretty much miraculously. Maybe you could even rent one? After that a utility knife with lots of back up blades is the traditional method.
You can mark the edges of the boxes with chalk, lipstick, or paint. Press the sheetrock against the box, and then cut out along the lines with a sheetrock saw.
