In 1947 he was employed as an architect for the Tanganyika Groundnut Scheme. When the scheme ended in 1948, he opened the first independent architectural practice in Dar es Salaam, C. A. Bransgrove & Partners. He worked on many projects and buildings, mostly in Dar es Salaam but also in other parts of Tanganyika, Kenya and Uganda.
