How does top/down construction of a building affect electrical installation differently than bottom up?:? Thanks.

If you are talking about having the roof up before the floor is poured, I did one a few years ago. We used big 4WD lifts and ran the stuff (EMT 3/4 to 2 inch) on the ceiling and outside walls first. There were ducts under the floor for everything. We didn't put the ducts in, we just got to use them, which we couldn't until after the floor was poured. On the ceiling we ran as close as we could to where the inside walls were going to be and just took it from there after they were up.

Since the floor was poured in sections, much of our daily planning consisted of, 'Well, where does it look like we can go in order to run some pipe somewhere today?'
