Allowable 9-Gang Meter Install?

I have experience with the EZ Meter-Pak system from Square D that just all bolts together. What other allowable ways is there to design and install a 9 gang for a 9 unit building? Are they more cost-effective, or is the cost-savings just overcomplicating it and you'll waste more time on the field? I'm always looking to learn from smarter individuals, thanks guys
 
Unless you have utility rules that say otherwise, there is nothing in the NEC that prohibits coming off a service disconnect into a trough or bussed gutter and into individual or multi gang meter sockets. Im not saying it would be worth doing, just that you can :)

Yep, typically ends up taking more physical space and more labor from what I've seen.

So there’s my next question, in the trough how do you branch out to all the individual meters? A huge 10 port Polaris? Taps? A bussed gutter huh? I don’t think I’ve ever seen that, sounds custom, and a lot more work

Many ways to do it with connectors, terminal blocks, Polaris connectors, H- taps.

Busses gutters are real convenient:
