EXPERT CONSTRUCTION SERVICES
H Squared Construction ltD
Commercial Protection and Crisis Control
H² Construction exists to protect projects, businesses, and capital.
This is the work I do when something is going wrong, at risk of going wrong, or too valuable to leave exposed. I move fast, assess reality quickly, and stabilise the situation without the usual commercial theatre.
H² is not “delivery as usual”.
It is intervention, clarity, and control.
What H² Does
H² supports funders, developers, directors, and stakeholders when:
- A construction project is stalled, failing, or spiralling
- Commercial, contractual, or delivery risk is building quietly
- Trust has broken down between parties and decisions are stuck
- Cash flow, programme, or accountability is unclear
- A crisis needs experienced leadership to take control and protect outcomes
Core Focus Areas
- Independent project and business diagnostics
- Commercial protection retainers
- Complex project recovery
- Contract and commercial risk management
- Crisis takeover and turnaround support
The work is decisive, structured, and outcome-driven.
H² is about protecting value, restoring confidence, and keeping control where it belongs.
Construction Alchemy LIMITED
Growth, Support and Mentoring
Construction Alchemy exists for a very different reason.
This is the work we do before things break.
And the work we do to help people grow beyond survival mode.
Construction Alchemy supports business leaders and women in construction who want to build something sustainable, aligned, and human.
This is not crisis management.
It is evolutionary leadership and strategic support.
Construction Alchemy supports:
- Established construction leaders who want clarity, momentum and confident decision-making
- Businesses ready to grow without burnout or chaos
- Women in construction stepping into leadership, visibility and authority
- Teams who want structure, alignment and healthier ways of working
The focus is on strengthening the leader and the business together. This work is supportive, intuitive, and deeply practical.
Construction Alchemy is about sustainable growth, calm leadership, and expansion that actually holds.
Why Are They Separate?
Although both businesses are led by Michelle, they are intentionally separate.
H Squared Construction is about containment, protection, and recovery.
Construction Alchemy is about growth, empowerment, and possibility.
One holds the line when things are fragile.
The other helps leaders step into what they are capable of.
Different energy.
Different outcomes.
Same integrity.
Not sure which company you need? No problem, book a call with Michelle and she will give you all the guidance you need.
Where I sit in all of this
I am not removed from the work.
I am present, intentional and hands-on throughout. Whether I am stabilising a project through H² Construction or supporting leadership growth through Construction Alchemy, I stay close to what matters.
I do not hand work down layers or disappear behind process. I integrate quickly, take responsibility and move things forward.
People work with me because they want clarity, momentum and decisions they can trust.
