Patching walls after new electrical wiring

I recently had new electrical wiring installed in my condo.

New outlets and switches have also been installed.

The next step is for my electrician to patch up the narrow openings he created in the walls to fish the new wiring. He plans to use plaster. But before he does this, he plans to use some kind of backing then a spray foam. The plaster will then go in front of the foam.

I'm one of those anal people who likes to get feedback before a project like this.

1) Has anyone ever done this type of work?

2) Does the method explained by my electrician make sense?

3) If so, what would you suggest for a backing before the foam is sprayed on?

4) What type of foam would you recommend?

5) Or is there a totally different way of doing this?

Any feedback will be highly appreciated!

Thanks.

I'm attaching a photo of one wall opening after the new wiring was put in. In the next post will be a photo after insulation was put in (It's too bad that I cannot seem to post 2 photos in the same post).
