In this Research paper, it was experimentally carried out to investigate the effects of introducing the cost between sand used concrete block and sawdust used concrete block. For making the concrete blocks we are using coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, cement, water and sawdust to mix it. Using some percentage of sawdust in place of sand in concrete is used. We replace replaces 10%, 15% and 20% of sawdust instead of sand while other things are same. After making the concrete blocks I am going to see the difference in weight between the originally concrete block and the sawdust concrete block. The unit density of the concrete block is tested also. Research paper has proved that saw dust Concrete can be used as a Structural Concrete at suitable replacement percentage .and also affects the cost of the construction.
