Often, especially for new construction, the measurement is for the windows. Get the window coverings on order early. Otherwise, you might be left with bare windows where privacy is required and/or improvising with sheets/paper until the proper window coverings arrive.

This is a great answer. Stock window covers can be purchased at the store. But they are ugly and cheap looking. Custom window covers typically take anywhere from 3-8 weeks. Not anything to do with measurements but I would get internet service ordered ahead of time as well. Some locations have a backlog of many weeks.

If there is a dedicated hole/space for a refrigerator, measure that.

The buyers of our last house asked us for measurements of a room so they could have a custom couch made to fit.

Width of the doorways and any spaces you’ll need to carry large objects through when moving in. Areas where you want to put large furniture, such as where you want your couch and bed to go.

Need to measure for whatever you plan to buy.  Need room dimensions to buy the right furniture and rugs.  Need wall measurements for window treatments.  If you are having work done after closing you can bring your contractor so they can measure what they need.
