I've had the pleasure of working in two separate halfords and the decent bike techs worked Monday to Friday 9 - 5, never evenings, and very rarely weekends.

A decent bike tech doesn't necessarily mean the person that builds your bike, pretty much any numpty built them out of the box when I worked there, it is straight forwards though with little you can do wrong.
Yep, take bike out of box, fit wheels & pedals. Orientate handlebars in the right direction, tighten bolts. Job done
