HayZee,
I just saw you wrote about a derating rule (more than 3 condutors through a joist). Is this a concern in a project like I mentioned above? I never thought have more than 3 conductors through a joist will cause heat damage. I understand for industrial/commercial but residential? Is this a code?

Also you said 4 awg AL service for 100A or 2/3 copper. What do you mean by 2/3? Copper can take a high current than al for same gauge, I would think 6awg copper if AL can be 4.
