Most trades are used to working like that, it's not a huge difference between someones diy project and a building site where you come in to get a specific job done. On the other hand you're now the client, project manager and labourer so you have to get used to wearing the different hats. You also have to chase people to get them in when you need them.
Most tradesmen enjoy seeing someones diy efforts, just as long as it doesn't get in the way of their own job. You can get a lot of conflicts of interest on building sites anyway, the plumber won't fit something until the tiler has been, the tiler needs the pipes in place etc. etc.
