When I build a cockpit, my first concern is the seat assembly. Everything will depend on this. The seat assembly determines my seating position and therefore, my eye level and where my hands and feet end up. The cockpit floor and the side console height work off of this, and eventually also my monitor stands. A lot of trial and error, so even with measure-twice-cut-once, I sometime have to do this process a couple of times

As for Rene Navarro, I've heard of him before but never really followed.
