For a building site "site entrance hut" or "site security hut" would be the most usual term. The latter would generally be understood to be at or near the site entrance.

neutral  writeaway (meets criteria): office is possible as Nikki said the D box. I don't see how a loge can become an area/loge based on the notion of a loge de concierge. But Asker has to chime in with a lot more info for anyone to know for sure
25 mins
  -> The broader context would help. The photos I found relate to ''loge d'accueil'' in a school context. I suspect, though, that the context may be something else (restaurants, parking camions imply another type of establishment).

neutral  writeaway (meets criteria): all anyone can do is guess. changing a loge into a hall is going some though

  -> Yes, it's a guess. But not impossible, at least according to Laurens & Loustau. ;-)

neutral  Nikki Scott-Despaigne: I'd prefer "reception" on its own as although there is the word "loge", it might not necessarily be a booth as such. The form it takes in reality, how it is actually materialised, is not that specifically depicted in the term "loge".
50 mins
  -> Yes, I only rated this "medium" confidence for that reason. The Asker should have the context to decide or use something more general.
neutral  writeaway (meets criteria): pity all anyone can do is guess. hard for others to judge as well. having said that, at least this enters into the realm of the possible (along with office).
3 hrs
  -> The list just made me think that, as a site with various areas and buildings, it could be a reception booth at the entrance to the site.
