The vision for GrannyShacks began with a strong partnership between designer Megan Metcalfe (Renovation Rescue) and builder Andrew Orlicki (AK Building and Developments). With over 30 years of combined experience, they’ve created a business that truly understands Gippsland’s needs.
After successfully managing over 500 renovations throughout Gippsland over 13 years, Megan and Andy recognised an opportunity to provide quality second dwellings to local residents.
When Victorian legislation changed in December 2023 to allow second dwellings on residential properties, GrannyShacks was born to meet this new demand.
What makes us different: We build everything onsite using local trades and suppliers, creating permanent, customised dwellings that perfectly suit your needs and space. Every shack we build is different. Every shack meets all current national building codes.
