From 1717, under Frisoni's leadership, the plans for the royal seat of Ludwigsburg and the Weingarten Abbey (renovations) were made. His first major work after his appointment as "Landbaumeister" was the Favorite Palace , which was built under his construction management from 1717 ; the completion was celebrated in 1723.

In 1726 Frisoni was appointed "Lieutenant Colonel". After Duke Eberhard Ludwig died on October 31, 1733, his successor, Duke Karl Alexander , accused Frisoni of embezzling and embezzling building funds and fired him. He came to the Hohenurach fortress , later to the Hohenneuffen , but was released and rehabilitated in 1735.
