When I was doing renovation at my place, I think I could go for much cheaper labor. Deadlines will likely slip, tho, as quality of work. I would perhaps end up paying more for worse result. Try to pay as much as feasible for the actual work, as few as possible for overhead.

All what 'cheap' labor does is lining the pockets of middle men selling this snake oil. With your money.
