ᐅ Installing Electrical Wiring in the Ceiling – From Light Fixture to Switch

I’m just asking out of curiosity; the work will be carried out by a professional (who is currently on vacation, so I’m asking here).
There are certainly many different approaches. But is it correct that a very common method in new construction is to install as many conduit pipes as possible in the ceiling and then simply pull all the cables through these conduits to the boxes?
Presumably, all the power outlets are wired directly from the distribution board. But what about the lights? Are the conduits for the lights run directly to the locations where the switches will be installed? Or are these conduits also routed first to the distribution board?
This concerns a “traditional” electrical installation. No bus systems or similar.
Best regards

Usually, cables are laid under the screed, meaning on the ground floor directly on the floor, and on the upper floor both lighting for the ground floor and the necessary installation above. However, it is common to install LAN cables and similar in empty conduits, as these are sensitive.
