Why is it called a ‘building’ when it’s already built?
Because nouns aren’t verbs.
the ing suffix there is not a tense but a noun maker, same way that singing can be used as a noun.
he was building a castle.
the building was a castle.
you were already billing me when i said i wont pay.
billing will be easier if you just choose another payment method.
she was singing.
i heard singing from the old well.
etc
