In Argentina it is quite easy to calculate the height of a floor in a building under construction. Each course of bricks is equivalent to
0,2 m (brick = 0,18 + cement = 0,02). So if, including the slab, one floor is equivalent to
15 courses, then it has
3 m in total. If it is equivalent to
14 courses (the most common around here), it is
2,80 m in total.

You can make a polygon in Google Earth and see it in Street View. If you have no placement errors, the height will be fairly accurate (but it will still be an estimate, because the margin of error can vary). Then you can check it with calculations.
I did the calculations for this building. I found that each floor is ~2,70 m in total, and the sum was around 52,3 m. In Google Earth I put a 52 m polygon and it matched:
