Actually, we did one better...
When we originally built the house on a slope with a daylight basement 23 years ago when things like Cat5 and fiber didn't even exist, we poured 10ft foundation walls and then dropped the ceiling to standard 8ft. It gives us unlimited wiring access to the upstairs and downstairs walls without opening up sheetrock.
I wish this was standard practice.
