Or it might save money. I've seen a lot of people dig themselves into a huge financial hole thinking they could coordinate everything themselves, and being wrong.

If you ask around you could probably find somebody who would do that, but try to get a personal recommendation from friends/family/coworkers. That's probably not the sort of thing where you're going to have good luck flipping through the phone book, especially if you live in a state with no licensing requirements.
It sounds like the person you're looking for is a fee-based construction project manager. That's pretty common in commercial, and very rare in residential.
