The Star Trek franchise often shows ships in an orbiting "Space Drydock". These construction, repair and maintenance facilities are both the birth cradles and the hospitals for craft whose size or structure rules out construction under planetary gravity.
This is the first and smallest planned shipyard. It is meant to house ships whose Length, Width and Height are all less than 240x120x60 meters.
Planned structures will enclose docking fields of 480x240x120 and 700x500x160. The latter will enclose even the Nebula, Galaxy and Sovereign classes.
Customizing for different vessels:
Refitting the shipyard for different ships is easy. Near the middle of the bay, you will find a lone docking block. You want to reposition that block so that if your ship were centered in the bay, the block would be level with the lowest part of the ship, and directly below the ships core. Having done so hit "c" on the docking block and (shift v) on the enhancer tradition that runs up the antenna mast.
