portable cabins

Relocatable temporary structures

Portable cabins are prefabricated structures designed to be transported and installed at different locations.

They serve as temporary or semi-permanent spaces for offices, classrooms, construction site facilities, or living quarters.

Unlike permanent buildings, they can be relocated as needs change: The company set up portable cabins for the project team.

Also called portable buildings or, in British usage, portakabins.
