    Is this going to be Poured with concrete?
    If it going to be plastered, you don't have to be as accurate.
    If Bare block is finished surface, then I would drill out the corners with a carbide bit, then a die grinder, I do it all the time, works well.

    Is it going to be firred out?
    Is the conduit coming up into one of the cells?

    For 2 outlets, you could Lay 2 courses of block and notch the block from 1 receptacle to the other.
