There are many materials available for construction of solid blocks. Out of which in the current project, the M- sand solid block obtained by complete replacement of sand is taken as a reference block and then it is replaced by saw dust and charcoal partially and compared with the reference block. Meanwhile tests like Normal consistency, Specific gravity, Fineness modulus, Bulk Density and Sieve analysis, Setting time are conducted for materials used in the project and then compression strength are determined and compared. The block comprises good compressive strength is suggested.More over with the use of saw dust, charcoal powder the weight of the solid block reduces. This makes the solid blocks as a light weight block which in turn is an add on for light weight construction. Based on the experimental investigation concerning compressive strength, workability and the water absorption of the solid block are noted.
