In 1938 he married Gizelda da Silva Lousada Soares, with whom had four children, including the civil engineer Luís Manuel Lousada Soares. He was a Portuguese electrical engineer and entrepreneur in the construction and public works sector. Graduated in eletrical engineering at the Faculdade de Engenharia of the Universidade do Porto. He started by founding the company “J. Praça e M. Godinho – Engenheiros Civis (UP) e H. Peres e L. Soares – Engenheiros Eletrotécnicos e Mecânicos (UP)”, together with Manuel Godinho, José Praça and Henrique Peres. One of the fist construction works of this company was the headquarters building of the newspaper "O Comércio do Porto", built between 1927 and 1930 and whose project was made by Rogério de Azevedo. Under the purview of this company, some other works we’re made by him and his colleagues, such as the Chapel of La Salette, from the architect Correia da Silva, and the Lyceum Rodrigues de Freitas, from the architect Marques da Silva. <br /><br />In 1932 Luís Soares, together with Manuel Godinho and José Praça, founded OPCA, Obras Públicas e Cimento Armado, S.A., this time without Engineer Henrique Peres, since he already worked for the Carris company. The three are the authors of numerous projects developed throughout the life of this company, including the Trofa Bridge, from 1932, the Viana do Castelo Harbor Building, designed by the architect Rogério de Azevedo and built between 1932 and 1934, the Building for the Fish Exchange, by the architect Januário Godinho and built in 1939, and the reconstruction of the Palace of the Dukes of Bragança, in Guimarães.
