Start Smart QuoteMontara Expandable Building Systems · modular housing + project buildings
Montara Expandable Building Systems are compact-to-transport modular buildings that expand on site into practical accommodation, workspaces and portable multi-use project buildings. The range suits homes, staff housing, tourism cabins, offices, classrooms, community buildings and remote infrastructure projects where transport efficiency, speed of deployment and reduced on-site construction are important.
Technical overview
Montara buildings travel in a compact folded form and expand on site to create a wider usable building footprint. Final layout, structure, services, engineering and documentation remain project-specific and are confirmed against the selected model and destination.
Apollo NZ Global is supply-only. Published dimensions, weights, material descriptions, classifications and options are planning references and must be re-confirmed on the final quotation, approved drawings, certificates and engineering documents for the exact Montara configuration and destination.
Floor-plan library
These drawings make the Montara range easier to compare before a project is quoted. Use them to identify a starting point for room count, wet areas, internal partitions and general circulation; the final manufacturing layout is then confirmed for the actual project, destination and service requirements.

Concept layouts are planning references rather than consent-ready architectural drawings. Dimensions shown are taken from the supplied layout set and should be re-confirmed on the final approved manufacturing drawings. Electrical points, plumbing, fixtures, doors, windows and partitions can change with the selected configuration and destination requirements.
Project-specific vertical option
Two-storey Montara configurations are treated as project-specific rather than a standard option on every model. Internal stairs, upper-level accommodation, plumbing alignment, foundations, wind exposure, lifting, assembly sequencing, egress and local code all need to be resolved for the actual destination.

Images show representative supplied and project-stage configurations. Final openings, finishes, decks, stairs, furniture and site works depend on the selected project package.
Project fit
The range travels at approximately 2.2 m folded width, then expands to roughly 6.2–6.3 m overall width depending on model. Transport efficiency only creates value when road access, lifting and final site orientation are planned early.
Room count, kitchen position, entry, laundry, bathrooms, internal doors, storage and communal space can be reviewed against the intended occupancy, structure and service routes before manufacturing drawings are frozen.
Salt, humidity, UV, heavy rainfall and high-wind exposure increase the importance of coatings, drainage, seals, anchoring and maintenance. Coastal-ready or cyclone-ready language always requires project-specific engineering verification.
Published detailing includes welded structural joints, expandable-joint seals, door and window gaskets, drainage channels and water-diversion detailing. Site drainage still has to keep water away from and beneath the building.
Confirm kitchen appliances, hot water, air conditioning, data, external lighting, solar, batteries and other major loads before the final wiring and outlet layout is approved.
Bathrooms, kitchens, laundries and extra toilets affect plumbing and electrical routing. Freeze the wet-area strategy early and coordinate it with the site's water and wastewater system.
The longer 30FT and 40FT models need early review of road width, gates, bridges, turning envelope, crane position, lifting reach and final orientation before the site plan is committed.
Project readiness runs from foundations and lifting through deployment, structural completion, seals, service connections, commissioning and handover. The supplied installation documentation controls the exact lifting and opening method.
Solar, batteries, generators, water storage, rainwater, wastewater, communications, maintenance access and spare-parts strategy can become as important as the building itself on remote projects.
Apollo supplies the agreed Montara building package and project documentation. Local foundations, unloading, lifting, assembly labour, utility connections, engineering and statutory approvals remain clearly separated unless specifically quoted otherwise.
Product status
Apollo's catalogue owner, project-brief pathway and core product record are complete enough to progress into project review and manual quotation. This is not a statement of engineering approval or destination compliance.
This product is recorded as a modular or configurable pathway, with the final arrangement confirmed for the project.
Apollo has an explicit regional priority map for this product. Regional mapping supports discovery and project review; it is not blanket compliance certification.
Configuration, technical evidence, interfaces, exposure or destination requirements need product-specific review before the final supply package is confirmed.
Status signals describe Apollo's current product record and project pathway. They do not replace project-specific engineering, testing, local approvals or destination compliance review.
