As long as he sticks to being a handyman it will be OK. Its when they

Err, how do you know what his insurance covers?

Who's?

Taking down an internal wall under the supervision of a pro can be a DIY
task. I've done two here, and I'm not a builder. I've also seen it done by
a 'proper' builder where they took risks. And then left all the rubble
under the floors...

I have also taken down internal walls, without supervision, but I could tell
the difference between the load bearing and none load bearing walls.

Only those who have a self inflated sense of their importance think it's
wrong to seek advice.

I agree with some of that, but there are also idiots that don't seek advice.
