portable construction
An object built with the intentional possibility of relocation to different sites.
A portable construction is a built object that is constructed so as to be moved easily from one site to another. It may either be built as a single movable construction, or as something to be dismantled easily and reassembled upon arrival at its new site. In the latter case it can usually be described also as a prefabricated construction.
Many types of structures can be portable; some of the most commonly movable are container buildings and amusement rides like ferris wheels.
Ease of relocation is an intended feature of the construction. The object can move as one piece or through planned dismantling and reassembly, rather than requiring its destruction at the old site.
