One advantage of doing the work yourself is that you know where all the wires and pipes are. This can save you time and money in future when you need work done. You would no longer have to guess or cut exploratory holes in your walls.
Also, doing the work yourself, you know the capacity of your circuits. You also know what type of paint, what the exact color number is if you ever need touch-ups. Over all, doing your own construction makes you more familiar with your home, which simplifies your decisions when it comes time for maintenance work.
