If your running horizontal feeder conduit and there are wall going up would you sleeve or get your conduits in before wall goes up?
Would it matter if it was a CMU block wall or gyp board wall?

You don't have to run the entire conduit run but just insert the size(s) you need. Why bother with a sleeve in that case

CMU wall - follow the masons and have them sawcut and mud around your sleeve.
Sheetrock - Cut it with a hole saw or keyhole saw where needed.
Concrete - Depends on how many walls you have to go through. If several, make a blockout for your conduits, if just a couple walls, use the vacuum on your core drill and make the bores.
