How about having a go at doing just one room on your own to start with, bulk bags, hire a cement mixer etc with a few mates to help. You'll either think "that was manageable" and have the impetus to crack on or "that was bloody hard work, I'll get the professionals in".
Take on board the above tips like vertical battens for level. I would think you'll need a stronger threshold board at the doors if doing just one room as in to resist the side pressure.
Tbh when I do my next rooms here, one at a time I'll be screwing screed rails to the walls like last time. It worked so well for me I'd do it again.
