During his time as dock engineer, Foster completed only one dock (Prince's Dock). He also converted Manchester Basin to an enclosed dock (Manchester Dock) and expanded several other docks including George's Dock and Queen's Dock. The warehouse at King's Dock was built by Foster.[1]

He designed St Luke's Church in Liverpool in 1802, later to be completed by his son, John. He also designed the Athenaeum (1799), the Union Newsroom (1800) on Duke Street, Liverpool Town Hall (1802),the Corn Exchange (1807), and enlarged Leasowe Castle in 1818.[2]

Foster had three sons. His eldest son Thomas (d. 1836) became Liverpool's town clerk, William who was Secretary to the Dock Committee, and John who also worked as an architect in Liverpool.[1][2]
