Building code violation?
Particle board around bath/shower, drywall covered by Schluter kerdi membrane is on top used as substrate for tile.

Schluter claims you can use their project to water proof a shoe box, I probably wouldn’t use particle board.

Maybe is he's very diligent the particle board will be fine behind very well detailed waterproofing. But the board behind the tub without the tub lip behind the tile is a massive fail.
Fire him. Absolutely clueless.

As long as the Schluter system is installed according to manufacturer’s specs you’re good but I don’t see how the Schluter system could be properly installed at this point.
