A glowing material that replaces the player's material, such as the animated energy materials, should work just fine.

Glowing outline & Text above their head should work perfect together.

Which material? If you could give the direct name, then I could add it.

So far I have the Builders have an outline the same color as their player color.
Next I will work on gettting text above their head. Should it be fixed or should it rotate?

I plan on adding both of your ideas, but then have them customizable with console commands. So you can disable or change the color/material of the text/outline/player.

That sounds great! Nice work on this addon.

I think it should be fixed. Rotating may get a bit confusing.

Maybe they should. TF2 is free, afterall.

To be honest, I have no idea how to add floting text and I can't figure it out.
There are two ways to do it as far as I can tell:
1) Add an entity to the server that floats above the Builder (Server-side)
2) Add text on the GUI of all of players on the server (Client-side)
Each side has its ups and downs
1) Would be easier to code but it would be harder to process and render
2) Would be harder to code but easier to process and render render

Maybe a picture of a wrench above their head!

If you can, I think everyone would prefer option 2, but if you cant, It doesnt matter, because i think 3/4 of the people here dont even know how to make an addon (INCLUDING ME) So which ever one you can do. But it would be better with Option 2, if you can :)

Also another suggestion. You should make a menu for changing the colours of the builders, just to simplify things a little :)
