All,
I am having a new home built and the builder placed only 1 ceiling
mount for lighting in the kitchen. For some reason, I overlooked the
need for additional lighting via recessed or those fancy hanging lights
over the bar.
Any recommendations on how to add the appropriate wiring now? Any help
appreciated.
Thanks, Dan.

Could be code requirement. Fluorescent task lighting
is now a requirement in many areas. Talk to the builder.

Retro fit ceiling boxes like the Westinghouse 1100 can be installed from
below sheetrock through a 4inch round hole but the cable to the switch and
feed will probably require some notching . I'd talk to the electrician on
the job

That is where the main problem occurs. I guess I was wondering if it is
at all possible to "fish" the ceiling as home security installers do
when they go up and down the walls and such?

Sure. New electical boxes for outlets, lights, switches are installed
all the time in "old" construction by fishing wires. You may likely
need sheetrock patching and repainting after it's done, however.
BTW, it helps to quote at minimum the pertinent part of the post you
are responding to, as an aid to comprehension :-).
