He had already dealt with building law issues in publications since 1964, and in 1964 he was the first to deal with the problem the so-called construction cost overrun .

This work appeared in four editions. Locher justified the first comment on the fee schedule for architects and engineers (HOAI) and wrote the textbook "The private building law".

He also published a textbook on the law of general terms and conditions , which has also been translated into Japanese .
