Sounds like you two would be better off with a CAD modeller rather than 
a mesh-based modeller. Draw what you like, but then you can 
constrain/dimension features, either with precise numerical values or 
equations/scripts.

For example, it's quite common to have a generic model of a screw, with 
parameters for length and diameter. The model is created in such a way 
that just changing those two parameters updates the model instantly.
