Is my design engineer out of his mind? (structured cabling)

TL;DR version:

• This engineer is a contractor used for the development of the new construction for this building - does not work for me
• New 10k sq. ft. facility (2nd floor of a building)
• At least 100 runs of CAT6 coming from under the floor from various computer labs and conference rooms throughout
• Architect/Engineer making the drawings has NOT consulted with the actual vendor doing the structured cabling install
• Engineer wants to put every in-hole poke through's worth of data cabling through 1" conduit. Four CAT6 cables per poke-through.
  • Said conduit will continue until it comes up INSIDE A WALL in the datacenter
  • Then cabling will come out of conduit into the tray in the ceiling, down into the ladder in the datacenter, then to the 2-post patch panel rack.
• He acted like I was talking crazy-talk when I suggested they aggregate bundles into 4" conduit and put that 4" in the floor right next to the 2-post and leave the bundles bare coming up into the 2-post.
