A thought: you sure the guy didn't misunderstand and he buys the mud? Last thought, if an owner told me that he was setting the forms, I would add in enough to sight level and throw in some more bracing, just because.
I with Zeke on this. Unless you have worked with the contractor in the past and you have a relationship, how does he trust your work?

The other item that was mentioned - I know several contractors who won't touch residential work because of the size of the job or the amount of low cost labor competition.
