What is the best way to replicate features on several similar bodies/components?

I've started modeling a timber frame building that has several joints that are very similar if not exact ally the same between different post, beams, and braces. I know I can always mirror and/or pattern for some stuff. But when things are not symmetric or one component is a slight variation of another one, what is the best/most efficient way to handle this. I am using user defined parameters and trying to constrain such that the model is pretty dynamic when changing the parameters as I am planning on doing some simulations on the model when I'm done so I want to be able to easily adapt the model to meet code requirements if needed.
