Hello Lucy,

what you need to do before we can review your plans here is:

* discuss your plan with the local community and get approval there.
* make clear the license terms of the data are compatible with OSM.
* creating a wiki page documenting your import plans.
* showing the data you want to import.

The full step-by-step instructions can be found on

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines

Technically for a building import you need to in particular see how you 
avoid buildings overlapping with existing data in OSM (like roads, 
waterbodies and pre-existing buildings) in incompatible ways.  There 
are many past building imports that had to do the same so you can 
probably get some useful advise here from those who managed previous 
(well made) building imports.
