it is, and nearly everyone does it. I've never came across capping in my working career, and I've only came across cables directly plastered into walls when it's butchered by a DIY artist. I actually thought it was the same across the water until I went to work in London a few years ago and got an eye opener.
Nick Bundy recently started using oval conduit and talks about it as though this is some new invention - hateful stuff to pull two legs of 2.5 through, after the fact. On the average installation, round conduit and female bushes would add about 0.000001% to the overall cost and, considering the rates charged in parts of England, it amazes me that cables are capped or plastered with no regard given to future works.
