After the war, Maule was made Chief Architect to the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries but returned to private practice in 1923.[1] He was architect to the trustees of the Douglas Haig Memorial Homes for Ex-Soldiers.[1] For much of his architectural career Maule was based in London operating in partnership with William Adam Forsyth as Forsyth & Maule.[10]

Two days after his obituary, a tribute to Major Maule was published in The Times on 18 May 1940: 'In everything he did he was actuated by the highest principles; and by his fine ideals, energy and keenness he inspired others. He was a true leader of men'.[6]
