portacabin
Temporary modular building
A portacabin is a prefabricated portable building used as temporary office space, classroom, or accommodation, typically on construction sites or where permanent structures aren't practical.
The word is a genericized trademark in British English: The site manager worked out of a portacabin near the entrance.
Americans more often say portable or trailer.
