This study has been undertaken to understand the cost saving of low cost housing comparison than conventional building without compromising the strength, durability and mental satisfaction. In this research, a well-designed 2 story (duplex) plan is designed and its basic estimation has been done. It is saved about 16% in construction of building without including labor cost and some techniques which can be used but not used due to some reasons discussed later on. Cost of building has been saved because of following methods. Use of fly ash brick at the place of clay red brick which saved in rate of wall construction, reduced dead load of the structure, eco-friendly in nature and good thermal conductivity. Fly ash is smooth hence, no plaster is required. Granite tiles is used at the place of marble which reduces the cost without compromising appearance.
