Why it matters

Slabs are usually 5 to 6 inches thick in homes. Pipe sleeves, electrical conduits and fan hooks must be placed before the pour; cutting them in later weakens the slab.

How Elamentt handles it

Conduits and sleeves go in from the electrical and plumbing layouts, which are part of every package.
