    I do production work for a designer as well as for myself where I
    have to make I 15 or more of the same piece sometimes. What I would
    suggest is cast as many as the small pieces as you can and just put
    everything together like a production line (clean all the castings,
    then do the next step on all the same piece and so on). It gets a
    little tedious when you spend all day working on the same piece over
    and over again but it gets everything done in the shortest ammount
    of time possible. A lot of places will bring a project from start to
    finish for you. You could contract out some of the work to a place
    that will put things together for you after they cast the pieces.
    That can save you time but may cost a little more and sometimes they
    miss some of the minute details that you have to fix once you get it
    back. I can suggest a few places that do all the work for you if you
    need something like that. 

I hope that helps.
