To run Romex vertically is easy, if the IFF (Insulated Floor Form) is in an ICF structure. Just keep in the wall, in the portion of the ICFs that you keep, in-between the holes you cut for the beams. I hope that makes sense, I would just use one of those long flexible wood bits and put them in after the floor is poured.
Take this picture for example:

I have not encountered a job requiring a wiring pass-through every six feet. I think usually the electrician has the levels on different circuits.
We will have the main panel in the garage, and will feed all circuits from there. I will need to run at least 40 sets of wires through the floor in various locations to power the upstairs and basement.
I can put sleeves in before hand, just thought there might be an easier or more elegant solution to this...
