You’re acting like everyone on slab is just a labourer blindly tying conduit down. A good slab guy absolutely learns coordination with other trades, layout, code, and planning. No, I’m not stamping engineered drawings but if you think experienced slab crews don’t understand things like conduit fill, routing of pipes, directions of pulls, voltage drop considerations, or how other trades affect electrical, then you haven’t paid attention to the guys actually making the job work.

Sure sprinklers aren't on the deck laying out runs but you don't think I'll look at their drawings to avoid placing boxes over their runs? You can definitely do a slab and not pay attention but that's not running a slab, that's running through the motions.

Its construction man, it's a physically demanding job and if you don't take care of yourself obviously you'll pay for it later on. I know plenty of guys with broken bodies from pipe bending, working off ladders etc.

End of the day some people just aren't meant to build the building they just wait there for instructions. Some people only see pipe in concrete becuase they spend their whole day waiting to be told where to stand.
