In 1890, he started working with his masters and other architects. Ala Singh assisted in the design of Imperial Forest Research Institute, Dehradun, ceiling plastering and woodwork at Indian Military Academy, Lalgarh Palace, Lakshmi Niwas Palace, Gajner palace, and Bejoy Bhawan (Veterinary University).
