Prefabricated metal buildings, where to start

These could be easily assembled by hand just like a freighter and in case it had to be moved, it was as easy as taking the structure apart and rebuilding it on a different location just as it was in the previous one. A small team of soldiers was sufficient to assemble, disassemble and reassemble Quonset huts measuring 15 meter long and 6 meters wide. Quonset huts were used by allies to protect their assets and soldiers from sunlight, rain and snow. These initial Quonset huts were neither good to look at nor very strong, therefore construction companies in the early sixties decided to change that by making stronger and better looking Quonset huts. Only a few decades back that could be made possible with the availability of several types of construction grade steel.
