My point was that the Great Fire of 1871 is one oft stated reason of why Chicago has such strict building codes, including no romex. I do not agree with this, but that is their rules.

I always like to see a rack where all the couplings line up. It takes a little longer but looks so much more professional.

Nice looking work, just looks like there are more bends than needed. That is what I see from the picture, If I were there I may think different. 27000 square feet! That is about 20X the house I live in, I could really hide from my wife in a house like that.
