Splice outside junction box

At my home we're having the bathroom remodeled. I got home today to find the contractor's electrician installed all new receptacle boxes but spliced old and new sections of bx cable outside a junction box and just wrapped the splice with electrical tape. Once the drywall goes up, this splice would be sealed up forever. I am informed enough to know that splices should be made in a junction box. Am I not correct ?
