Usually, in large-scale construction work of contractors who have a head office far from the work site, will build a temporary office around the construction work area to facilitate all administrative activities and reach to the job site.
This temporary office is not permanent and will be dismantled when construction work is completed, the interim office will coordinate with the headquarters regarding all construction activities on the work being done.
We'd better know what an office is, a need for labor and materials to build temporary offices with plaster floors.
