About
The story so far.
The person behind the work.
Jon Clayton is a chartered architectural technologist (MCIAT) and the founder and host of Architecture Business Club. He runs his own small architectural practice from Norfolk, working mainly with homeowners on extension and renovation projects.
Originally from Lancashire, Jon began his career in the mid 1990s, training through a part-time route while working in practice, and went on to work for studios in the UK and Australia. He set up his own business around twelve years ago and later relocated to Norfolk, rebuilding the practice around a personal brand.
Through Architecture Business Club, a podcast and community for solo and small-firm practice owners, he shares practical lessons on marketing, pricing, systems and the realities of running an architecture business as a sole practitioner.
