There's zero reason to assemble the pack yourself nowadays, as they make plastic casings that fit standard car/motorcycle battery sizes with standard size terminals.

Except I can get 7 Ah cells for $3.50 apiece on Aliexpress. I load tested the cells and found them to very nearly get the claimed capacity, which is always hit or miss, especially on Chinese sourced cells.
A 4s4p config would cost $56, 28 Ah, and 200+ short duration discharge capability.
One can scale as needed to achieve their capacity and power requirements.
