-------------
2' 8" x 6' 8" is a standard door size for inside doors. Exterior doors are 3' x 6' 8".
The standard height for both exterior and interior doorways is 80 inches. In the construction industry, this is often stated as 6/8, which means 6 feet 8 inches. Although this height is standard, actual door openings are sometimes slightly smaller or larger, such as 79 or 81 inches. Oversize exterior doors are sometimes 84 or 96 inches tall. Standard doorway widths vary from 18 to 36 inches and are available in 2-inch increments. For example, commonly available widths include 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34 and 36 inches. Although they are available in different widths, the most common size for exterior doorways is 36 inches wide, although 30- and 32-inch-wide doorways are also common.

Since the spacing of streets in grid plans varies so widely among cities, or even within cities, it is impossible to generalize about the size of a city block. However, as reference points, the standard block in Manhattan is about 264 feet by 900 feet (about 80 meters by 271 meters), or slightly over five acres (two hectares); and in some U.S. cities standard blocks are as wide as 1/8 mile (660 feet or approximately 200 meters), or 10 acres (about 4 hectares) if square.

Is there a Floor Height Standard adopted for constructing Buildings - Residential, Commercial complexes, Libraries, Apartments etc ?. i.e. Between 12 feet to 15 feet.

Is there a Floor Height Standard adopted for constructing Buildings - Residential, Commercial complexes, Libraries, Apartments etc between Top Floor and Terrace ?. i.e. Between 4 feet to 7 feet.


If there is a standard what is the exact number (integer or decimal) in terms of meters, feet ?. Can there will be deviation in these number ?.

For example : 7 Floor building.

Ground to 1st Floor -> Between 12 feet to 15 feet.
1st Floor to 2nd Floor -> Between 12 feet to 15 feet.
2nd Floor to 3rd Floor -> Between 12 feet to 15 feet.
3rd Floor to 4th Floor -> Between 12 feet to 15 feet.
4th Floor to 5th Floor -> Between 12 feet to 15 feet.
5th Floor to 6th Floor -> Between 12 feet to 15 feet.
6th Floor to 7th Floor -> Between 12 feet to 15 feet.
7th Floor to Terrace -> Between 4 feet to 7 feet.

People who want to build/construct Private Bungalow have to also follow this standard. For example Two floor Apartment, Bungalow ?

there is no set rule . 10ft. is common but it is subject to minimum ceiling heights with very depending on your codes in the area you live . Basements and such use to be 7'10" if I remember right but a few years back it was dropped to 7'1'' .
The typical is a 9 ' interval if the ceilings are 8 ft. Leaving a 1 ft. interval for floor systems , but that is not truly accurate. If you want to get technical the typical ceiling is 8' 1 and a quarter inches . Then 2x10s are 9 and a half inches then you add 3/4 sub-floor before you start the next wall of 8'1 and a quarter inches. A big percentage of profesionals just call it 8ft plus 10 inches and call it good . The only way you get a dispute about it is when you have a height restriction and every quarter inch makes a difference in the over all height as to not pierce the building height envelope.
It gets a lot more continuous when there is a perceived view shed of a neighbor.

10 ft. is a standard depending on the type of building , ceiling heights, chase area size for ducts and stuff . It is a rule of thumb and don't reflect real live measurements of an as-built.
you take commercial space and the ceilings could easily be 12ft or even 15 foot then have a drop ceiling down to a desired height for a particular store design and if there is a second story it may only be the thickness of the floor system it self which could be just a 1/8th inches corrugated metal with 3 and one half inches of reinforced concrete then start the next floor .
I think standard single story big malls have a ceiling height of 23 ft.
I may be wrong about that . I think that is right though . It has been a while since i have done a tenant improvement in a mall . 23 ft comes to mind .
So my typical is 10 ft. when estimating initial heights. Very preliminary when trying to visualize a highest and best use for a land parcel.
That is because of peoples desire for 9 ft tall walls , which we say a lot of in the hay day before the crash . Everybody wanted 9 ft walls

Window sizes....

I can't seem to find this information anywhere.
I've read that 32" is the typical height.
I've also read that you should match the top of the window with the top of the door.
