When on a new construction job what determines whether you run your branch conduits in the slab or not?
How much profit you want is a huge factor..When on a new construction job what determines whether you run your branch conduits in the slab or not?
What about if EMT allowed in slab?If the job permitted PVC, I would run everything that I could in the slab.

I never worked on a project where NM was permitted in my 40+ years, so never think of that option. My area does not permit cable wiring methods for other than dwelling units and only where there are no more than six dwelling units in a building.Interested to hear why.
Seems the layout to make sure you hit every interior wall you need to, and then hope the framers don’t adjust something on the fly by as little as 1”, and just the sheer quantity of pipes for maybe 20-30 branch circuits, would make it not worthwhile.
Especially when you can just come out of a sub-panel and pull romex everywhere, after the framers and plumbers have messed up whatever they’re able too.![]()
