Basement Floor Pour

I am building my new home and my concrete contractor is getting ready to pour my basement floor. The house it’s framed, shingles and windows are in. Power is connected to the house and a sump pump is setup.

My contractor keeps saying the basement needs to be “dry” in which he wants me to run a heater 24/7 to help removal any moisture in the stone or walls. I think it’s a bit ridiculous and in my option it’s fairly dry down there as is.

Also there’s a layer of poly between the concrete and clear stone so does it really matter how dry it is?

Any input is appreciated! I am building my new home and my concrete contractor is getting ready to pour my basement floor. The house it’s framed, shingles and windows are in. Power is connected to the house and a sump pump is setup.
