Gfi in new bathroom remodel
I understood that with a remodel, GFI had to be installed in the plugs near the bathroom sink. My contractor told me this. However now he is saying that because my plugs are connected to a circuit breaker in another part of the house, this is not necessary. I am not feeling good about this change of plan.

You contractor is correct that if a receptacle is replaced where the code calls for GFI protection it needs to be installed if the device is replaced.
GFI protection can be provided by either a GFI breaker or receptacle. Do you already have a GFI breaker on that circuit?
