The skill here though is the general skill of hiring people to do a job you can’t do yourself. This is a very useful life skill. Have you ever hired an electrician or builder? It is like that. So if you hire a company to build something think of a way to keep them in check. You could hire an independent person to review their work (like hiring a seperate project manager and architect to work with the builder) Or you learn the trade a bit and ask lots of hard questions. That fly by night outfit would crumble on asking basic questions because they are not cut out for it. Their happy paths is suckers. As a coder I got sucked into cheap labour coders and never again. Too much skummy stuff going on.
