We've built with accurate building plans, i. E. 1 to 1. But I'm not able to deal with inches, we use meters and centimeters. To work with those messurements, you could use 1 block = 0,5 m. I'm using setl 25, so biggest woodbeam is 0,5, then 0,375 m, 0,25m, 0,125 m and so on. This is the most accurate way I know. I was used to play with an architect and he used CAD and building plans with such measurements. Of course you can convert inches to meter and vice versa. I had to convert with a building plan from a Mediterranian house. The measurement 0,5 = 1 block is the mathematical best choice, I know. You could also use the size command to build. It's absolutely recommended to use the grid.
12 feet = biggest length of a woodbeam = 3m, (1/4 of this is 0.75), you need 3,658, I would suggest 3,65m, better than 3,660 m.
You could decrease the woodbeam from 3 m with setl 10. Be aware the smallest piece us 0,05 m and you could enlarge to the choosen length.
Or...you use the size command. But this could result in some overlapping parts.
I'm not sure if you could understand me correctly; for accurate buildings you have to calculate. Good luck
Thanks allot guys! I will definitely take notes!
Holy crap lol one block side is 19 inches
19,675 m. This is not the best length to work with 
. I would suggest you use 20 inch for 0,508 m, (20 = 0,5) so you use the measurements much better. 
Could someone make a youtube vid explaining this? I have such a hard time understanding the text
