Bricks are the most widely used construction material on the planet earth. After China, India is the world's second-largest brick manufacturer. India's brick manufacturing is projected to be 140 billion bricks. Clay brick is one of the earliest construction materials, dating back to the dawn of civilization. It's a type of crystalline ceramic that's one of the most widely used building materials on the planet. The findings of research on different characteristics of laterite, clay brick, and fly ash are discussed in this paper. The goal of this research is to examine several attributes of these bricks, such as thermal resistivity, compressive strength, and water absorption rate, as well as to determine their availability. As a result, clay and fly ash bricks were used. While studying, tests like thermal resistivity test, compressibility test, and water absorption test were carried out to compare the properties of bricks. Instruments like a compressive testing machine, infrared thermometer, and thermostatic oven were used. Studying these properties and comparing them makes it easier to know which material will be suitable for construction as well as efficient. Laterite from a nearby area was used. From each type of brick, 6 bricks were prepared and tested for compressive strength in the compressive testing machine (CTM). The results were presented for easy comparison. Using laterite stone is one way of cutting down construction costs. For all materials, it is required to know well in advance the approximate cost. Studying water absorption rate helps to know durability properties like degree of burning, quality, and weathering behavior. This helps construct houses in heavy rainfall areas and regions with cold climates.
