Building Bayside and
south-east since 2006

Shacklock is a Melbourne luxury home builder specialising in renovations, extensions, custom homes and townhouse projects. Since 2006, we’ve delivered considered residential work, with Director and Master Builder Andrew Shacklock personally overseeing every build.
Why Shacklock

One builder from start to finish

Shacklock takes on a limited number of projects each year, allowing Andrew to remain personally involved from the early planning stages through to completion. This hands-on approach brings greater continuity, clear communication and consistent attention to detail throughout every build.

Personal oversight

Andrew remains closely involved on site throughout construction, overseeing workmanship, coordinating trades and addressing details as the build progresses.

Early collaboration

Working alongside clients, designers and consultants from the early planning stages allows construction costs, buildability and design decisions to be assessed together, helping avoid costly changes later in the process.

Clear, detailed pricing

Detailed quotations, clearly documented inclusions and fixed-price contracts provide greater clarity and certainty before construction begins.

Trusted trades

Shacklock works with a trusted network of experienced trades and consultants, many of whom have worked alongside Andrew for years. These established relationships help projects run smoothly and maintain consistency throughout construction.

Energy efficiency as standard

As a Master Builders Green Living builder, Shacklock incorporates double glazing, insulation, effective sealing and solar power as standard. These measures help improve thermal performance, reduce energy consumption and create more comfortable, efficient homes.

Quality beyond the visible

Attention to detail extends beyond the finishes you see. From structural elements to insulation and concealed workmanship, Andrew takes an active role in checking the quality of construction throughout the build.
Our service area

Where we build

Shacklock has a strong focus on Melbourne’s Bayside and south-east, from Brighton to Mount Eliza. Concentrating much of our work within this area allows us to stay closely involved in every project, with the hands-on oversight, clear communication and attention to detail that underpin the way we build.

“Andrew and the Shacklock team completely transformed our home. What impressed me most was the communication — every stage was clear, organised and stress-free. The workmanship is exceptional and the attention to detail is second to none. We couldn't be happier with the renovation and would recommend Andrew without hesitation.”

Brad, Mount Eliza

“Building a new home can be incredibly overwhelming, and adding COVID, lockdowns and all the uncertainty that came with them could have made the process feel insurmountable. But Andrew made the entire journey both enjoyable and manageable. He was organised, transparent and incredibly supportive throughout the build.”

Simone, Brighton

“As a building designer, I work with many builders and Andrew is one of the best. His communication, technical skill and commitment to quality make the design and build process seamless. The townhouses at Princes Street were executed exactly as intended, with exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail.”

Gary, Prahran

“Andrew delivered two exceptional townhouses for us at Agnes Street. His professionalism, communication and commitment to quality were evident throughout the build. The craftsmanship is outstanding and the project ran like clockwork. Andrew is a builder you can trust completely.”

Keith, Beaumaris

"When Andrew said in August that our new home would be ready by Christmas, our friends asked, 'which Christmas?' True to his word we're in by December 14 and very happy with the result. The result is great and every deadline and expectations were met."

Accredited Green Living Builder

More efficient homes,
built for better living

Smarter Homes. Lower Costs. A Better Future.
Sustainability is built into everything we do. As a Master Builder and accredited Green Living Builder, we create high performance homes from Brighton to Mount Eliza that are comfortable, efficient and ready for the future.

Solar as Standard

For more than six years, every Shacklock home has included a solar system power system. It’s our standard — not an upgrade. Solar power dramatically reduces running costs and supports modern living, especially in homes with pools, EVs, heat pumps and high-energy appliances.

Testing Emerging Technology

In our own home, we've installed a 40-kWh battery system and a 15amp EV-ready charging point to test emerging technologies before recommending them to clients. This hands-on approach ensures every solution we offer is proven, practical and designed for real-world performance.

Sustainable Material Reuse

When renovating or extending, we also apply circular economy principles — reusing suitable building materials instead of sending them to landfill. This approach is far more sustainable than recycling, preserving embodied energy, reducing waste and maintaining the character of the original home.

Energy-Efficient Pool Systems

Most of the homes we build include a pool, so we design energy systems that keep filtration, heating and circulation running efficiently — often powered entirely by solar. Families get the lifestyle they want without the energy bill they don't.

A Shacklock home is built for today and prepared for tomorrow. Smarter design. Cleaner energy. Lower costs. That's the Shacklock difference.
