I think that if you looked into it you would find that it's not as much as you and your company think. At least it doesn't have to be. One of the most important parts of being a professional photographer is working with the client to find something that works.
Anywho, working with pvc wouldn't be all that unstable since you don't need to stretch the fabric that much but yeah metal conduit works. Have you gotten a camera yet? A used digital camera with a short macro lens would make things really easy. I believe that Serlindsipity was referring to knives and such with her comment by the way. You need to pay attention to how you position them in relation to lights and your camera because they are reflective.
