He becomes ordinary architect in 1675, First architect of the King in 1681, intendant general of the Bâtiments of the king in 1685, general inspector of the Bâtiments of the King in 1691 and superintendent of the Bâtiments of the King in 1699. He is anobli by Louis XIV in 1682, but he has for any title only that of rider, because he does not have titrated ground.
