I am new to 3D modelling and Part Builder in Civil 3D, but I believe for very complex objects, such as valve chambers that contain various intricate details, it will be much easier to model in the 3D work space than the Part Builder.

As such, can I create a 3D solid in the AutoCAD 3D modelling environment and later on add the necessary descriptive parameters inside the Part Builder environment. Alternatively, can I import an IFC file into Part Builder?

You can use SOLIDOS instead of pipenetwork

With it, it will be possible to import predefined solids into your drainage, water or sewage devices

You can model it in AutoCAD 3D environment but depending on the version of your AutoCAD, the solids are not the greatest to work with.

You should be looking at the Autodesk Inventor, Infraworks Civil 3D work flow. Inventor is the place where you really want to be building 3D parametric objects. Unfortunately Inventor is not part of the AEC package of software.
