How is the electrical and plumbing done in a log home?

Contemporary Log Homes - Frequently Asked Questions
The electrical outlets are done by drilling holes vertically through the first three courses of logs, the location of these outlets are then marked on the floor for future reference by the electrician. The electrician will cut in electrical boxes at these locations and pull the electrical wiring through the interior walls. If this is not possible, wires are run up the backside of the door jams to accommodate the electrical wiring. The plumbing is all run in the interior partition walls.

How are electrical and plumbing installed?

Frequently Asked Questions
In commercial construction, wiring is pulled through conduit. "Chases" or channels are built into the foam cores of a SIP panel that work like conduit. Electricians use a fish tape and feed the wires through panel chases without compressing insulation or drilling through studs. Typically, plumbing is installed in interior walls and floors, but not in exterior walls. Where exterior wall vent pipes are necessary, chases can be formed in the foam cores.
