Where I am we would run 3/4" and 1" PVC for branch circuits, better to run more small pipes then larger pipe that you fill and have to distribute from that point, better for derating too. (Don't forget derating)

This small pvc can make some good smooth curves without a hotbox or prefab bends.

If you put a 45 or 90 degree sweep in the middle of the PVC run (try to avoid this) and where you stub up use a GRC parts.

We use EMT if its in the wall, or if on the surface of the wall we go up 10' with GRC

Put pull strings or true tape in before the concrete goes down.

Never leave ends of pipe open, it is surprising what can end up in the pipe. [Linked Image]

If you keep it to these small sizes you should be able to do it with out much investment for tools.
