Sustainable Modular Buildings for Military Use

As the official modular building partner of The Royal NAAFI, iForm is proud to support Armed Forces communities worldwide with durable, sustainable modular buildings designed for military applications.

Manufactured using 98% recycled plastic, our structures provide one of the most environmentally responsible solutions available for military bases, welfare facilities and operational environments. Built for strength, longevity and low maintenance, they are ideal for demanding locations both in the UK and overseas.

Established by the British Government on 9 December 1920, NAAFI was formed by combining the Expeditionary Force Canteens and the Navy and Army Canteen Board to provide recreational facilities and essential goods to service personnel and their families.

Over the following decades, NAAFI expanded across the globe, supporting military bases and deployments in locations including Bermuda, Jamaica, Singapore and China.

Today, NAAFI continues its mission to “serve the services”, delivering the comforts of home to British Armed Forces communities stationed around the world. From supplying British favourites in remote locations to operating canteens onboard HM Ships, no posting is too distant.

NAAFI currently operates in the UK, Ascension Island, Brunei, Falkland Islands, Germany, Gibraltar and onboard HM Ships, helping provide convenience, welfare support and a true taste of home.

With iForm modular buildings, military organisations benefit from sustainable, portable and long-lasting structures that can be adapted for retail units, welfare hubs, accommodation, offices and operational support facilities.

Working in partnership with The Royal NAAFI as their dedicated modular buildings provider we have worked  closely with their teams to create a variety of different builds for International application.

Each build is perfectly matched to its environment – from the heat and humidity of Singapore to the freezing winter conditions of Estonia, the buildings provide unrivalled comfort levels with state of the art heating and cooling facilities.

Each product is completely portable, allowing them to be relocated around the globe – and often they are built to fit inside a shipping container for ease of logistics.

NAAFI Cafe

NAAFI are renowned for their Cafes and were looking for a new portable Cafe option which can easily be shipped and relocated when needed. Each Cafe includes a full kit out with commercial ovens, fridges, blenders, dish washers and till facilities. At only 20ft in length their space saving design allows a fully functioning cafe with a convenient size for complete portability.

From Gibralter to the NATO Head Quarters in Estonia, each Cafe has the relevant electrical fit out and full temperature control to create an inviting space and a taste of home to serving troops across the globe.

Accommodation & Training blocks

The NAAFI range of training and accommodation blocks provide a hugely flexible option for immediate deloyment. Large numbers of bedspaces can be provided as well as built in class rooms and training areas.

80mm insulation, waterproofing and sound minimisation is built in as standard and you can place them straight onto the ground -there is no requirement for permanent footings.

The pods are completely portable and can be made self contained and entirely off grid so are perfect for hard to reach or remote locations.

The units are exceptionally tough and are able to thrive in the harshest weather or ground conditions whilst ensuring maximum longevity.

Towable accommodation units

The NAAFI towable units provide easy portability and can be towed with a standard towing license. They can be made completely self contained or hook up to mains if required. With built in en-suites and fully fitted interiors these pods look ultra modern and provide super high comfort levels with the ease of full portability.

Their light weight construction allows them to be towed by a wide range of vehicles despite their large size.

Refrigerated Trailers & Cold storage pods.

Due to the large volume of food and drink that the NAAFI transport both nationally and Internationally there is a high demand for portable cold storage options. Both our refrigerated trailers and cold rooms offer a fully portable solution that offers both chill and frozen capabilities.

Our pods are designed to fit inside shipping containers and their unbeatable insulated properties perfectly handle hot climates whilst maintaining frozen goods inside the fully racked out interior.
