GRANNY SHACKS ONSITE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCT BUILDING COMPANY

About Us

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.


What makes us different: We build custom dwelling. 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. We use local and build to suite each individual requirement. We service all areas within a 100KM radius of Warragul.
