Conduit routing

[Alwayslearningelec]

If you had 3/4" conduit you had to run from the panel into the space where the lines end is there any reson why you couldn't/wouldn't run though the rooms as shown wth the purple line and why you would run through the corridor shown by the yellow line?
It's existing space so I'm thinking furniture etc. in the existing rooms would make it a PIA.

Even if you have to move stuff to do the purple route, the yellow route will probably cost at least 2 times that of the purple one.

Definitely the straightest, shortest pathway.

Not to mention approximately nine 90s.

Yeah got it but I was curious ..maybe electricians never route through rooms like that and try to stay within corridors …

It might be possible, although extremely unlikely, there is a reason not to pass through the wall, on the purple route but I can't think of one in an office environment.

Thanks…just trying to be safe and correct

Looks like the yellow route was drawn to maximize profit for the electrician. Waste of time and materials, unless the walls in those spaces are not penetrable I would go thru the offices.

Tip, look where all pipes are running as it is. If all are going in the hallway, there is a reason.
It's clear that the panels are against a column- thus girders or a beam...
