Abstract:
A temporary accommodation assembly configured to be assembled to form an erected accommodation structure that is cable of being raised to form an elevated accommodation structure and then subsequently lowered and disassembled for relocation of the assembly, the assembly comprising:a plurality of support legs pivotally attached to bases respective so as to be erectable to upstand on the bases respective directly from ground level and thereby define a space bounded by the support legs, a ground-level area bounded by the bases, and wherein each of said bases are separate form each other to define openings between adjacent pairs of support legs and their respective bases by which ground-level access exists to the space and the ground-level area, structural elements comprising a floor, wall and roof that are assembled and forming the erected accommodation structure within the space and over the ground-level area, and self-climbing means interconnected between the support legs and the erected accommodation structure causing the erected accommodation structure to self-climb the support legs by movement of the erected accommodation structure relative to the support legs from ground level through the space to an elevation thereabove to yield the elevated accommodation structure, wherein the elevated accommodation structure is configured to be supported by the support legs to define within the space an accessible space at ground level beneath the elevated accommodation structure that includes the ground-level area between the support legs so that the accessible space is accessible at ground level through the openings between the support legs.
