Rust. How many years is this good for?
Low voltage will be easy... I'll just run smurf.
Unless the concrete pour crushes it, then you won't be able to use it.
Do what you're good at. You're asking for basic information and you're hoping it will work. This is NOT a predictor of success. Tell the contractor you're not good enough with central vac to do this particular house and you -- or better yet he -- needs to find someone who will do it.
If he locates companies that won't do it, that should strengthen your position that it IS A BIG DAMN DEAL that can go very badly. Don't do it yourself.
Then again, Fins had the complete solution. No chance of concrete messing things up, all parts are out in the open where they can be replaced, and most importantly, the client isn't going to be the one who uses this.
