Namspace Contractors CC - Modular Construction Camps for Mines

Namspace specialises in the design, manufacture and erection of prefabricated (modular) structures in Namibia and the rest of Africa.

Our extensive experience in the planning, design and erection of prefabricated camps in the sectors of mining, construction, military, police, education, and health services has enabled us to offer professional turnkey projects throughout Africa.

Prefabricated modular buildings

The stigma of quick, cheap, hot and dusty, that was attached to the old prefabricated buildings, was well deserved. Namspace has taken prefabricated modular buildings to the next level. These new buildings are dust free, well insulated and will last for 30 years plus if maintained. Buildings can be moved to new locations with ease, thus saving time and money. The majority of our permanent and mobile buildings are built to suit clients' specific needs. Our product range includes:

• Perma space buildings: built on concrete with insulated panel roofing or IBR sheeting
• MODS (modular on demand space): custom-built mobile units with lifting rings
• Stack-it MODS: units that can be flat-packed and erected on site
• Farmer's units: do-it-yourself units that are supplied in kit form
• Fire-proof units for control rooms
• Cooler and freezer units
• Insulated panels for cladding of factories and roofs
