I believe there is a tools thread on here someplace with recommendations, If you have a co-op anywhere near most all the use of tools maybe for a small fee but using a shop as you mentioned to get it cabled up and checked over isn't a bad way to go if time is a factor. I hope some pictures are coming soon of this build
I get allot done with Y hex wrenches, metric box end open end and a large adjustable wrench but for things like BB, pedals and cable cutting its good to have the bike specific tools
