You would probably use either an inclined plane or a pulley system.
An inclined plane is basically a ramp, so it would make it easier to push up to the top of a building. However, you'd need a REALLY big ramp for that, so you'd probably use a pulley: while you'd have to pull a lot of rope, it would let you lift a heavy object really easily.
