The BB will be specified in the technical documents for the particular chainset.

Re: spindle length for a Genesis Croix de Fer 2013
Photos of that bike suggest it is fitted with a hollowtech crankset which has an integral crank and bottom bracket spindle design. With this arrangement you only need buy a set of bottom bracket cups but it is worth checking the condition of the spindle which should be a consistent diameter along its length. Under certain circumstances the bracket bearings can seize and wear the spindle.
