1. Does the finish flooring material have to be installed or can it be the bare sub floor? Sub floor. No floor covering required.
2. Do interior doors have to be installed? Cant remember - sorry!
3. Bathroom plumbing is installed with shutoff valves but no fixtures (toilets, sinks, shower, tub). Is this allowed? Nope. That is rough-in plumbing. Final plumbing must be completed - i.e fixtures.
4. Electrical installed, outlets covered, switches in place, but all fixtures (lights, fans) are not installed and box is covered with plate. Is this allowed for final? Plates allowed for final especially where ceiling fans may go - but you should have some fixtures in.
5. Kitchen water, propane, and electrical are installed with outlets or shutoff valves but no appliances, fixtures or cabinets. Is this allowed? Need sink installed but can be laundry tray sink on 2x 4's. Cabinets are furniture and not required. Stove should be in as again the is final plumbing if gas. The washer and dryer issue go back and forth. You might get away with none as long as the final plumbing is done because a washer is a hose not piping and a plug in. A electric dryer is a plug-in too. Gas dryer is finish plumbing.

Could a spec home be built on the idea that the shell is completed, inspected and final and the individual interior decorating is up to the new owner? Or is this just dumb?
That would be a realtor question!
