The floor and frame assembly has a pair of parallel Ibeams which extend the length of the building being mounted atop a plurality of parallel beams extending the width of the building. A plurality of parallel members aligned with the lower beams are mounted atop the pair of beams and are supported by vertical legs. Floor sheets are mounted atop a plurality of ribs which extend the length of the building being recessed in the members. The lower beams form ledges which receive and support the building side walls. A wheeled carriage is removably connected to tubes mounted beneath the floor-frame assembly for transportation of the building.
