The Building Modes Menu contains 4 buttons.

Sell Building Mode

The first button is the "Sell Building Mode", in this mode, any building that you click upon will get sold.

To prevent it happening by mistake, a confirmation dialog box will prompt up asking you if you really want to sell it. It also informs you of the refund of coins/ supplies/ happiness/ population you will get, if any. Diamonds are never refunded.

Roads and two-lane streets are sold without getting the prompt confirmation dialog box, to reduce clicking time. Hence, one has to be careful while using this mode.

For Great Buildings, a dialog box with a check-box will prompt up, to prevent accidental selling of such buildings.

Move Building Mode

The next button is the "Move Building Mode", in this mode, any building that you click upon will start moving.

The selected building can now be placed on any desirable location, provided the space is adequate. A particular privilege available for desktop/ laptop users is that, if a building is placed on a location where there is only one object blocking the free space, then the shaded building turns blue. The selected building can then be placed, and the building formerly occupying the place becomes selected instead.

It is worth noting that the above privilege does not work if there are 2 or more buildings occupying the free space where the selected building is to be placed.

Close Building Mode

The third button is the "Close Building Mode", and it closes the selected building mode.

Reconstruction Mode

The final button is the "Reconstruction Mode". More on the mode is found here.

The Building Modes Menu can be closed by clicking anywhere on the vicinity of the city. When no mode is selected, the regular tasks such as collection of productions, aiding, solving quests etc. are possible.
