I am pretty sure I can use romex here. It is a two story building, used to be a house and was all redone. The first floor is a vets office. Second floor is unfinished for two office spaces and he now has a tenant for one space. It is wood framing, truss ceiling, wood floor. Everything was done in mc and emt (I did see one piece of romex), but the vet office is a drop ceiling, this upstairs office will be sheet rock ceiling. I will check with my ahj but he sometimes does a vague answer. I have to add a panel from the meter provision outside and I see they used SER cable for the existing panels. Thanks for any info.
 
Sorry, the drop ceiling is on the first floor vets office which is already done. This second floor space will have a sheet rock ceiling. As I said a truss ceiling, wood joists, job is just recess lights, receptacles, for an insurance group, about 650 sq feet.
 
To be clear, when you say 'dropped ceiling' you are talking about a typical suspended ceiling with lift out tiles right?

I ask because there are also sheet rocked ceilings that are 'dropped', in these dropped hard ceilings NM is not prohibited.

Yes the vets office is a suspended ceiling, (accessible), the second floor office is sheet rock to ceiling joists.
