about me

I’m Mike Hartley, a Chartered Architectural Technologist with over 25 years of experience turning design ideas into clear, buildable, compliant solutions. I’ve spent my career working at the point where design meets technical reality - helping private clients, architects and contractors move projects forward with confidence.

After more than two decades in practice, I founded MH ArchTech Ltd to offer something simple but increasingly rare: a friendly, honest, highly competent technical partner who takes the stress out of the process. No layers of management. No faceless teams. Just a small, approachable firm that cares about doing things properly and supporting people well.

My approach is grounded in integrity, clarity and technical rigour. Clients deserve information they can trust, drawings that make sense, and advice that’s straightforward and free of jargon - and that’s exactly what I deliver.

My background as a Building Control Inspector gives me real insight into what happens on site. Designing something unbuildable is designing to fail. I work closely with contractors to ensure your project is more than just a pretty picture — even though it is still a pretty picture.

I’m easy to work with, calm under pressure, and committed to doing the right thing for the project. I take pride in being someone clients and practices can rely on: a clear communicator, a practical problem‑solver, and a steady, experienced hand at every stage.

MH ArchTech Ltd is built on the values that matter most to me - honesty, professionalism, technical excellence and a genuinely personal service. If you’re looking for a dependable specialist who will guide you through the technical side with clarity and care, I’d be delighted to help.
