There is no rule thst has to be followed here... If it's a trackside structure, then yyou need to make allowances for clearence, & rail height. I test fit everything before, during, & after construction. Any material can be used, plywood, masonite, cardboard, foamcore, styrene, styrofoam...a lot depends on the desired height, & what type of benchwork you have...i.e. open grid, tabletop, etc... Whole sections of structures, like towns, etc...can be built at the workbench on a single piece of material, & then attached to the benchwork. This technique has advantages, in that it makes detail work much esier than having to bend over the layout. Hope this helps.
