As a senior architect in Southern Rhodesia's [now Zimbabwe] Federal Department of Conservation and Extension (CONEX) his aim was to provide the farming community with simplified and rationalised ways of dealing with animal husbandry, crop production, housing and a variety of incidental problem areas. Later he developed for CSIR a photointerpretation laboratory which was used in South Africa's census of 1991, and until his retirement in 1999 established an independent photointerpretation laboratory.
