I have 208v power in a building but a construction crew needs 240v/15 amp power. What is my best solution for temporary power. Is the only solution a 208/240 4KVA buck boost transformer?

What do they need it for? More than likely 208 will serve their needs just fine.

It's a good answer. I am curious what the stated reason for needing 240V?

There is equipment that must get 240 and will operate poorly or not at all on 208.

Sure there is but there is far more where there is no matter at all.

I agree, but we have no idea, all we know is that the OP said 240 was needed.
If I was the OP I would be asking more about the equipment before making a decision. I am seeing more and more foreign tools on jobs that need 230 volts.

I did say I was curious.
That's part of the problem right there. What are you doing to keep these foreign tools out of our country.
Don't you have to go to work? I know I have to get some sleep.

The last two items I had to deal with were a chicken roaster and a smoker.
As much as some national 'green' / 'support the community' supermarkets charge for their products they are very cheap when it comes to buying equipment and it is almost always some odd ball stuff from a foreign land.
5:30 AM and yeah I am off to a supply house shortly.
