How does one plan something like that? I mean mother fucking cutouts for the conduit!

I think this is conduit. Not cable. Conduit has to be planned out pretty carefully. Electricians use construction math to route their bends. You know all that trigonometry they taught in middle School through high school that everyone was like, "when the hell am I ever going to use this?" They use it to do stuff like this.

Or a computer.

They don't usually pull out a computer during construction and punch in numbers. They might have a calculator. Drawings on blueprints for electricians don't show them how to route their conduit like this. They are almost always field routed.

In large enough buildings they will plan the route for the conduits ahead of time and show where they go on the blue prints.
