A solution just with Lisp would be (untested)

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun my-compile-command ()
  (interactive)
  (let ((default-directory "/ssh:user@host:/abs/path/to/project_root"))
    (compile "./build.sh")))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Then you can call "M-x my-compile-command".
