Prime Cuts of Num Num
I'll suspend my disbelief for most things in Marvel movies, but at full size, that building must be extremely earthquake and bomb-proof, just going from what we saw in the first Ant-Man movie. Imagine the building at full size being pulled along by a giant. The tilt alone would cause decades of work to slide out the windows.

It's still silly that the shrinking not only affects size, but also density too. Remember the tank key chain in Ant-Man 1?

In the comic above, the anteater is being hit with the full weight of the building while to Ant-Man it feels the weight of rolling luggage. This is about as consistent as the rules were in the first movie, where when he's small, he sometimes had the mass of a full-size human and sometimes had the mass of an ant.

A plausible science-babble behind size-changing is that they're not really changing size, just extruding into other dimensions.

Various cosmological models hint that there's more spatial dimensions than the three we're familiar with.  We just can't perceive them because we're not in them, much like how A. Square of 2-dimensional Flatland can't perceive Sphere hovering a short distance away in 3D space.  When Sphere visits Flatland, he first appears as a dot to Square, grows to a circle, then shrinks back down to a dot.  From Square's vantage, Sphere's this weird, size-changing circular thing.  However, from Sphere's point of view, he's not changing at all.

As for us, we're in A. Square's vertices, only in 3D space rather than 2D.  Ant-Man would basically be turning himself into Sphere and extruding himself into a fourth (or more) dimension, thus appearing to shrink to us (and to him since he's still a creature of these three particular dimensions).  Growing to Giant-Man could be a reversal of the extrusion technology, causing a spatial distortion that makes him bigger in our three dimensions.  In short, he hasn't literally changed size, so breathes normally and doesn't break all his bones when a different size.  He's merely a bit off kilter from the rest of the world.

The mass-shifting, though, I'm unsure about.  True, it would be part and parcel of the whole size-changing thing, but how a shrunken object might appear lighter or an expanded one might seem heavier probably requires getting into physics we as a people aren't even close to fully understanding in real life.

Still, I have to agree with you that, even assuming there's some wacky quantum effect of the mass-shifting technology that helps protect a shrunken building against getting squished like tissue paper by someone grabbing it, the fact of it getting shaken about would probably reduce anything inside it to chunky salsa at the very least.

Also, I would like to apologize for subjecting you to this rambling technobabble. :(

It sounds similar to the explanation of how the TARDIS is bigger on the inside on Doctor Who. The Doctor explains it as being similar to viewing something from far away and looking smaller when it's actually the same size.
