If you've got the budget to spend on a Storck and Di2 I would definitely fork out and take it to Cadence. I also think you would definitely benefit from picking up a toolkit and at least attempting things like fitting forks/headset/stem/handlebars/seatpost/saddle/pedals as they really aren't that complex as long as you've got the right tools and parts
If you're going to be riding seriously (which one would assume you're planning on if you're building up such a nice sounding bike) then you're going to need to get an idea of how a bike is assembled so you're prepared for any mishaps that come along with owning a bike. I'd be broke as hell if I didn't know how to take my bike apart and put it back together as I'd have spent a fortune on bike shop fees, not to mention the waiting around that comes with using the services of a bike shop on a regular basis
Sorry for the essay! Best of luck with the build
