So with that do you guys have any advice? I've seen some very deteailed projects here and cannot fathom that lagging hasn't been an issue. Does everyone get it or is it just me? And if not, what do you do to prevent it?

Okay, well no matter what, you'll be dealing with lag at some point. But to put this off you should:
1: Put everything in layers i.e. all furniture in one layer, all windows in another, all floor plates in a third, Etc. Then hide them when they're not being used. This will also make it easier to navigate through your model too.
2: Make absolutely everything a component. Then if the model still lags after layers you can just hide and unhide everything.
3: delete everything thats not visible from outside of the model if you make intersections, go between the planes and delete everything not visible.
4: lastly, if you're only going to display the model here don't model everything to such a high level of detail.
thats what i do and my stuff still runs pretty smooth.
