I've never produced an item exactly to a published plan. I sometimes study plans to see what construction methods they used, but the size of the item is always custom to a specific situation. I get some reference dimensions from the Internet or by measuring furniture in my house or a store.
I'm learning to use the Internet more efficiently. When I Google for "table height" , "cabinet dimensions", "bathroom fixtures" I get dimensions from forums, from manufactures's websites and from sellers of plans.
I just found that by adding "Architectural standards" to the search I get a more authoritative bunch of numbers.
For example I added "architectural standards" to "toilet dimensions" and this popped up:

And when I did the same for "bathroom dimensions" I found this:

So, if you are not finding the standard dimensions you are looking for, add "Architectural standards.
And this for a garage:
