I've done a few posters for skyscraper building sides, you usually work in proportion to the final output, but smaller in scale. Like mentioned above, you might work at 11x17 inches (example) but at 300dpi. You have to call the printer, they will provide specs and usually a final illustrator template to insert your image into. Or they'll just take a tiff/psd/review jpg. Ultimately, they'll upscale to your final specs.
Request a PDF Proof online to review the color to assure nothing is exceedingly off when converting to ink.
On this type of gig, it's all about working with the right printer that has experience working at this scale.
Also, if your PSD gets to be larger than 2gb, you'll have to switch to PSB, large document format. CS5 on a 64bit towerand 16gb of ram will be your best friend in the next few days.
