I agree that putting the building on the map should rank higher than giving it 
a lifecycle or damaged attribute that hard to assess from the image quality. 

This is also the approach I recall from HOT disaster mapping. Roads and 
building from satellite, destruction details from ground crew. (Admittedly I 
might be wrong here).
