He was probably responsible for the Friday Mosque and shrine at Mashdad (completed 1417–18). His best–preserved work is the Ghiyathiyya madrasa, Khargird (completed 1444–5). His are the architectural master-works of the period of Timurid rule (1370–1506) in eastern Iran and Transoxiana, especially in relation to vault construction.
