as a scale modelmaker and commercial modelmaker ( i do it for my living) i would always recommend the door measurement method if you have no other methods of scaling accurately.... bricks come in such different sizes relating to the age of the building, if you get the dimensions wrong for a single course of bricks then by the time you multiply it lots of times for every course of brick you could be way out, if it is a residential dwelling the doors will be fairly standard, if its something like a commercial building or a warehouse or whatever then if you have nothing else you have to use an educated guess !
