As the founder of The Builders Boardroom, Stephen Mallinger, is no stranger to rolling up his sleeves—both on the tools and in business. With over 25 years of hands-on experience in the construction industry, he’s built Mallinger Constructions from the ground up into a multi-project operation known for its quality workmanship, reliability and integrity.

But Stephen’s not just a builder—he’s a strategist. With formal training in building, accounting, business, and law, he brings a rare mix of practical know-how and sharp business acumen to the table. He understands the full picture: the timelines, the budgets, the teams, the pressure—and the potential. Put simply, he understands what’s really at stake when you’re running your own show.

Having faced the challenges of running a trade-based business firsthand, Stephen knows what works, what doesn’t, and what it really takes to build something that lasts. His passion lies not just in delivering quality builds, but in helping other builders do the same—smarter, faster, and more sustainably.

Above all, Stephen is driven by a genuine commitment to improving the construction industry from the inside out. Whether he's mentoring the next generation, streamlining systems for better performance, or fostering stronger business cultures, he's always pushing for better—for his clients, for his peers, and for the future of building in Australia.
