Better do 1:1 from the start than to fix a rescaled drawing.
One trick to get a nice 1:1 drawing is to cheat when it comes to number of floors or columns of windows. Nobody's gonna count anyway and my drawing looks similar enough to the real building.

I totally get your point.
I try to be as precise as possible, but in the result some of the buildings don't look as "crisp" as the ones drawn directly in 1:1. Also if you do the correct heights of floors which mostly will range between 2,20 and 4,50m there will seldomly be an exact pixel to floor ratio, resulting in smoothed out floors...
But specially if there are curves, slopes or more complex forms i prefer a bit of "mushyness" in order to have smooth edges instead of having the trouble to try to make a tower or a dome or something work in a pixel-drawing way.
Interesting to see the different approaches.
