if you're serious about installing the bb yourself, you'd want to face the bottom bracket shell, and then chase the threads to make sure they're clean before you install it. and you'll also want to face the head tube as well. even if it's a brand new frame, there could still be some imperfections on those two surfaces, and especially in the threads. it's best to take it to a shop for those three things, and then do the rest yourself.
