I have the trade skills to do this. Worked as a cabinet builder in my early career and started a short lived construction business with my brother in my 20s. But if I take my total compensation for the year it would take me to build, the cost of the subcontracting I wouldn't do myself (plumbing and electrical) and the materials cost it would probably be about the same as getting it built by someone else.
There's also the very subjective tradeoff between opportunity cost of taking time off from my career vs the benefits of doing more manual labor and learning a lot building a house.
