    Round here people build those sort of extensions and get building regulation sign off before removing the doors! 
    Then the doors come off and the place is decorated.
    which happens all the time, when I wanted to get my house signed off I concreted the "disabled access ramp" in the morning of him coming and shovled it back up  in the afternoon once he'd gone! , I also knew the downstairs bathroom door needed to open outwards and IIRC a 750mm opening for the same reason, so I left the jams off and hung it backwards then went back and did the job properly.

    To me a completion cert meant £25k rebate under the self builder scheme, overwise I doubt I would of been overly bothered about the final sign off.

    For me, the issue is not the removal of the internal doors and windows, but whether those two arches have sufficient support: we can't know if the recesses have the same support as before, or whether they've been enlarged?
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
