When I was living in Pakistan, they had built the "Guddu Hilton", which was dozens of double stacked shipping containers converted to living space. Each container was 2 dorm rooms with a shared bathroom, and an air conditioner. By the time I arrived, no one was living in them, as I was a resident engineer, not a startup/construction guy. This was 1989.

In 2006-2008, the company in Romania doing some of the packaging work also built portable office/living space for construction projects. They were designed to be moved like shipping containers. I ordered one for our guys, fully setup as an office and lockable storage, for under $10K. It was an 8x20.
