Yes. But opportunity cost should be considered. My friend subbed out his house
build and it was practically a full time job for him. Obviously the amount of time you need to be involved depends on what the project is.

I've been told being your own GC saves you about 20%. I'd do it.

It's not super difficult, but you may have answered your own question

Don't automatically use those subs. Get competitive bids.

This is good advice. Also no verbal agreements! Everything has to be in
