HO scale is about 1/87th -- 15mm is around 1/100th so the HO scale  
buildings will be a bit large.	I've known people to mix HO and 20mm  
figures and it looks a bit off though depending on the scale[1] of  
the game it may work.

You may want to look at O scale buildings to go with your 25mm figs.   
I just set a few figures (a GW 28mm, Foundry 28mm, and an Old Glory  
25mm) up against a "factory" building I have and they seem close  
enough to work.  Buy one in kit form (12$-20$ each) and try it out.

There are quite a few O scale buildings out there but they're  
typically suburban / 50's style affairs.  When building a post- 
apocalypse type table they'd probably work peachy if you aged them  
up.  The Plasticville apartment building can be scified up easily  
enough.

[1] Scale being say one stand equals a squad and one building on the  
table represents 5 or so buildings...your mileage may vary.
