Trying to do this yourself will very likely cost you much more money in the long run. It isn't a matter of just tearing it up, you have to carefully take it apart with as little damage as possible to the structure and with a continual eye to what will need to be done in future stages so that you do not inadvertently cause additional later on in the project.
That said, if you are determined to do this part yourself, at least spend the money and hire a good GC as a consultant for this part of the project, hopefully the same GC that will be doing rest of the work. Or at the very least hire a good carpenter knowledgable in all the different trades and be his laborer for the demolition. This will save you money, and hopefully avoid future problems.
