Have a gander at my build diary to see where it goes.
Remember the 25.5" is the point where the high 'E' will sit with the rest of the strings set back a bit.
Being your first build, use a pencil, so you can rub it out and do it over again.
Are you going to do the 'string through' or 'top' through the back of the bridge?
I would mount the strings through the back of the bridge first and make sure intonation is adequate and that the bridge is mounted correctly.
