Once the wall system is completed, it is very crucial to go back through and drill top plates at each vertical chase. Mark each vertical chase on the top plate and drill with a 1" to 1-1/2" spade bit. The wire chases will be marked on the panels interior side, and will be directly in the center of the panels. NOTE: This is the most common mistake, not drilling these out. It is necessary for the electrician, so he can access the wire chases.
