This guy is going to burn down the building he is trying to protect.
The conductors must be protected at their ampacity, or as modified by applicable code articles and sections.
You should ask him to provide a code reference.
I would also make note on your final billing that the Fire Marshal has instructed you to install this wiring without OCP in violation of the NEC and in protest you have complied, or better yet, do as Iwire says and go back and put it on a breaker.
If something were to happen in the future, I wouldn't hold my breath thinking he would come forward and say he instructed you to do this.
You would be standing alone.
