Honestly, I don't think that a qualified wheel builder will be significantly faster if you count in the waiting times. Unless the wheels are ready for collection in the same day.
Is that like Chinese carbon but with an even worse human rights record?

Hmm this is a good point, I didn't even realise waiting times were a thing. I know that Seabass cycles do same day collection builds.
@Emyr I am fully set on getting Mack Hubs without the flipflop option btw.
Once my calendar clears up more in two weeks time, I'll have a chance to read into wheel building fully, based on the comments here it seems completely viable to DIY. Thanks again to all of those offering advice!

I'm probably going to skip building my own wheels for this project because of time limitations. I'm honestly just trying to get a summer whip ready for when I get back to London to flex on my friends.
I like your analogy a lot though, so I'll keep it in for the next build keeping the mentality of n+1 bikes in mind :D
