After five years of practical experience in an architecture firm and with a construction company, he passed the civil engineering examination, and in 1962 he was granted the license to practice as an architect. From 1964 to 1972 he ran an office together with Gerhard Hanappi in Vienna and in 1972 moved to Braunau am Inn , where he worked as a freelance architect until 1998.
