It seems like a waste to have carpet or vinyl flooring installed, no matter how cheap, if it is going to be ripped out right away. Better to just give a credit. Also, why can't you close with just the concrete foundation, because I know people in South Florida who just acid stain their foundation for a beautiful floor also.. Any suggestions would be welcome, as well as any other suggestions for our design appointment in reference to building an Iris.

My guess it is a requirement to have a finished floor for CofO. But som people put down a lower grade vinyl flooring than use it as the underlayment for the tile over the top. I checked if this is "plausable" for long term and the two tile companies I checked with said yes it can be used and can save you the underlayment they use too. If you saw the underlayment they use in TV you would want the vinyl anyway!
There are many threads recently about building an Iris and what to include or change. Do a search for Iris.
