this is a questions for u framer/carpenters

i have a brand new townhouse and im curious to know which side of the partitioning walls would the shear wall be on? is there any building codes that states which side it should be installed? dont want to poke holes in drywall to find out

reason im asking is in the future, might want to run some wiring from the 2nd to 3rd floor, and unfortunately the only common wall i have to work with is either of the partitioning walls.
