Looks pretty straight forward and quick, how many do you reckon you could do in a day, not a MFT in sight, sound.
Part 2

Interesting comparisons & differentials, first vid circa 2009.

Taper proof receptacles now required (i.e. like our BS 1363)
GFI on receptacles in bathrooms, kitchens & outdoor sockets
AFFD's on receptacles & lighting in bedrooms
An outside light requirement for front door.

Can't watch the second vid Pete.

Interesting that the arc fault detectors disconnect both the outlets and the lights. That could be fun for the homeowner ...

One of your more interesting American videoes Pete. There are a few similarities there between us and them they are a bit behind with the shuttered sockets we have had them for years. Not much testing only with a plugin socket tester, I know these were from 2009 maybe they have an RCBO/AFD combined now?

Pffff it's only 110V over there so no more dangerous than sticking your tongue on a 9V battery........

That's a Local Authority(equivalent) sign off
inspection, not an installation final inspection.

Lights switch on and off again.... They must be fine then!!

Those switches and sockets look horrible as well.

As do the exposed terminations on the incomers in the second video, especially with his metal watch dangling about! It's all OK though, he has his gloves on!

We may moan about alot of what goes on in the UK but we do seem to at least be aiming for a high standard!
