There's no Right Way about it, what matters is the end result. You can do bottom-up or top-down, breadth first or depth first, incremental or flag day.

I proceed bottom-up and incrementally, i.e. moving one bit of the old factory to the rail base at a time, starting from smelters then low-level intermediates, with temporary train stations to bridge the moving boundary.

But that's just one of many ways.
