No support when knocking down reception room - HELP

Hi,
The builders just knocked through the two reception room walls (we are making a though lounge), they havent fitted an RSJ in yet and it looks as though there is no supporting framework for the existing walls right now for before the RSJ gets fitted in. Is this safe? If not, do you know how long the walls will last before causing damage?
My builder said that they left 80cm of the wall which helps act as support but I dont think that its enough.
Please if anyone knows what needs to be done and how long i have to do it that would be great!
