What do you use if not conduits? We use them here

Direct bury armoured cable.
Underground conduits tend to fill up with water.

Ah, ok, you mean underground ones. We use conduits in the wall, either metal tubes, or plastic corrugated conduit, I thought you meant those.

In most construction, wiring now goes in the cavity in walls.
In some places like the UK, wiring can be direclty rendered in the wall.

We make houses out of solid brick, or brick that, while hollow, you can't pass wires through. The wall is built, then a channel for the plastic conduit is carved into it.
