I definitely construct scenes from a few noted details plus general context. Like what colour is my neighbour’s front door? Not sure, even though I pass it every day.
However if I mentally retrace my steps within a short timespan, it seems that I recall details that I would generally not remember. For instance if I leave my house and think, “Did I brush my teeth?”, I can usually confirm/disconfirm by picturing something very specific like where I placed the toothbrush afterwards.
