Check an old MCSE course, "Networking Essentials Plus". It will explain how, and where to install cat5 (you can substitute cat5e). There is a different insulator/outer covering required if you are going to utilise ducts as a conduit.
Just crimp with a quality tool and leave the soldering to a plumber. When you use a wood bit to ream the hole, or use the existing one, make sure your contractor knows what is going on. Our contracter was understanding and even helpful about advising me on running the cables and the smoothest way to route them.
Make sure you have a definite topology that allows for options down the road. Run bunches of cable now, it will be a pain in the <strike>marriage</strike> neck when you try and tear up a wall later.
But, you will prefer the somewhat slower, more flexible wireless by then anyway.
