This is one case where the common usage in English has eliminated the proper descriptive function of a preposition. If something is "outside a building", it is actually outside "of" the building, but the word "outside" creates an adverbial clause that removes the need for the "of". "He was standing outside the building." (same case for "inside") The "outside of a building" is a noun meaning the exterior wall. "I had to repair the outside of the building."
