Definition

An indication that a building is free-standing (detached) and self-contained and is built in a factory and then towed by a tractor to its semi-permanent site.

Description

Despite being constructed on a trailer frame with accompanying axles, wheels and a tow-hitch, they are usually left in place for the life of the building. Two or more units may be joined side-by-side to form a larger, squarer, building. They are often associated with rural areas and high-density developments termed 'trailer parks'. They may also be used as offices at building sites or small businesses.
