As for modeling in Max, I can say it is never ending story.
There are so many methods and techniques...

I would start at looking first on the built in tutorials cause they are not so bad.
Than go to the CGarchitect, there in the tutorial section there is couple of modeling tuts which are very good, they are called editable poly for interiors, part I and II
