Should be in core, but it's currently missing from the menu.
Draw a 2 node way, hit 'x', drag the way to one of the sides, release
when you reach your desired building size.
Add a node to one of the edges, select one of the segments there, and
extrude a bit more.
Add 2 nodes to another edge, select the segment in between those, and
extrude it *into* the building to create a cutout.
There are 2 slight issues with it:
1) When you extrude again in a direction, interim nodes will stay and
you'll have unnecessary nodes in an otherwise straight line.
2) When you extrude too far and want to drag it back a bit, 2 'antennae'
segments remain. Easy enough to delete, but should be fixed in the tool.
