I'm grinding the phases (new to the game) and I've been spending so much time making sure every build is neat and looking how I want it - but seeing the new stuff I'm unlocking, I've got the feeling that I shouldn't have tried so hard coz I'm probs gonna have to upgrade everything.

Is the the loop of the game to rebuild once I've unlocked better versions of smelters etc or am I playing it wrong?

Aaahhh ok, so tier 3 and 4 is when buildings start getting more 'permanent'?

Yes, at least how I play. After I make my "Phase 2" factory, all my factories after are meticulously designed. Remember to give yourself way more space than you think you need, because you will be unlocking upgrades and new building pieces that you will want to incorporate. Until I unlock most of the Awesome shop items, I leave my factories bare but well planned.
