Modular & Global · Modular buildings
Expandable modular buildings solve a transport problem by moving in a compact folded form, then opening their side sections after they reach the prepared site. The expansion itself is only one step in a controlled project sequence that also includes lifting, structural completion, sealing and service connection.
Current Montara product information uses an approximately 2.2 m folded transport width across the four core model pathways. Model length still varies significantly, so road geometry and vehicle requirements remain important even when width is compact.
The folded module is lifted into its correct final orientation on the prepared support or foundation system before the side sections are deployed. Final levels, support points and anchoring interfaces should therefore be ready before the building arrives.
The side wings are opened using the approved deployment method, then locking points, structural connections, trims, seals and drainage details are completed. This is not a step that should be improvised from photographs or another supplier's method.
Electrical, water, wastewater and other local services are connected after the building is structurally complete and weather-sealed. Circuits, fixtures, drainage, hot water, doors, windows and ventilation should then be checked before occupation.
