Description

'Taking the Con out of Construction' is the straight-talking podcast for contractors, developers, and construction business owners who want to stay in control of their projects, protect their cash, and avoid costly mistakes. 


Featuring Michelle Carr, Chartered CIOB professional and founder of H Squared Construction and Construction Alchemy, the show draws on 25+ years of experience rescuing projects and safeguarding investments across the UK construction industry.


We break down the biggest challenges in construction, from contracts and cash flow to disputes and profit margins, and share practical steps to keep your projects on track.


Whether you’re a subcontractor, developer, property flipper, or just starting out, you’ll get insider insights, actionable advice, and a fresh perspective on how to turn complexity into clarity.


Together, we can change the industry one project, one company, and one episode at a time.
