I am not an artist, so you might need to do a bit more research to make sure I am not giving you bad information. But from what I have learned about art:

 

Use a game engine - it will be of more value on your portfolio - UDK or the CryEngine produce the best visuals at the moment.

 

Depending on what toolset you use, there is a lot of information about scale out there that should make things clearer.

 

Modularity should be used whenever possible to show effective workflow - so the floors and walls if possible should be modular.

 

Some good UDK tutorials on here:
