Advice Needed: Remodeling a bathroom

From my experience: You might be able to do the demolition yourself to save money. Hiring one person to do the job could cost a lot more money. They may take advantage and charge more, or worst yet, outsource the jobs to people you don't know. Definitely find someone word of mouth. If you are lucky you might find someone who can do the job with a small team in two or three days.

You can have different people do different jobs. Hire a specialist for floor tile and shower tile. Hire a handyman for the toilet and vanity. The shower could be a pre-fab or customized with tiles.

100% DIY could be a 1-year project.

Also...consider installing a small urinal like this TOTO

The page loaded in such a way that I only saw the top part of the image. The square above the urinal. I was trying to figure out if you were supposed to stick your dick in that small black square or what.

If you have another convenient bathroom in the house I would say do it yourself, save the money and enjoy the satisfaction,.. Just be forewarned, that depending on the project scope and extent of your other commitments this will likely turn into a multi-month long project.
 
Personally I’d just hire the whole thing out. You’re not going to save much buying the stuff yourself as most of it’s the labor. In fact the stuff that contractors buy is usually better than the big box store faucets and toilets.
I agree, if you can't do it all yourself, then let them do it all.
