modeling buildings

where can I get measurement of height and length and width of buildings ?
So when modeling I can use right parameters

ask the architect that did 'em

Architectural blueprints and planning application sheets would be a good place to start

Yeah, ask the building designer.

you could download the neufert.
That's a book full with architectural measurements
(note the book was made a while ago and does not have the standards used today.. but it's still a good reference)
lot's of minimal measurements are in there (how much place does a parking lot need, etc.)

If it's just for standard houses.. you can use your own intuition.

A lot of measurements in architecture go by human measurements, measurements in flora and fauna (search for Fibonacci), the golden ration, etc.
other measurements are simply due to the thickness of building materials (like the thickness of a brick wall)
