Newbie hiring builder help

[Terry lambert]

I'm a tradesman myself and have not hired a builder before.

Were looking to have a loft conversion and kitchen extension.

As a heating engineer/ plumber I will do the plumbing and heating myself
( one builder who quoted has already moaned about this)

Would it be out of order for me to get my own electrician and kitchen fitter and just hire the builder for the steel, roof and chippie work.

Do you think this is likely to cause problems, and should I just let the builder bring in his own team for the whole project.

Any thoughts.
