Is the drywall installer allowed to smoke?

Even if you don't believe it, the collaboration was great and I did or had to talk to none of our craftsmen. It went perfectly.

And the question of the OP is legitimate, he is just seeking advice on how to behave. So please be a bit "friendlier".... ;)

Yeah yeah, that pile was behind my garage! :mad: And you know what? I found a used heroin syringe in the attic …. I'm pretty sure I didn't see it when I took over (the house still had to be cleared out, or rather there was still a lot lying around) I didn't see it, well that at least explains the quality of the work.

If there is a chance that you can still smell the smoke when moving in, stop it (though they'll keep doing it anyway and then be even more pissed), or better swallow it down and say nothing. One of the guys here smoked cigarillos and threw them into my flower bed right in front of my eyes ….

I once had a holiday job as a student on a construction site, and I always thought, if the builders knew, the basements were so full of piss (despite Porta-potties), disgusting. I think the trades deliberately made things difficult for each other. And the construction company is still around, 25 years later ….

Maybe better say nothing. A neighbor once told me that his place always smelled like nicotine, and he wasn’t happy with the insulation either. Then he reopened the wall himself and found a huge pile of cigarette butts and ash in the badly insulated wall ….. that could happen to you too …..

With us, smoking was prohibited by the GU.
Speak politely to the smoker.

After the interior plastering, there was also a smoking ban here. Issued by us as the builders. It was actually never an issue: beer bench and ashtray were in the garage and under the porch roof

No smoking sign on the front door from the interior plaster. Done.

Just talk directly to the drywall installer over coffee, and that's it.

Exactly. Our drywall installer also smoked, but not that much. I kindly asked him to smoke outside after the windows were installed (he had already been there for other work before). It was no problem at all. Our tiler was also a smoker. For him, it was naturally obvious to only smoke outside, so I didn't have to say anything. That's how it should be.
