Despite of the growing popularity in the construction sector, there is a need for better research to find new alternative materials used in construction activities. This paper argues the efficiency of using sugarcane baggase ash as a pozzolanic material and coconut shell as a cost effective material in the production of concrete. Sugarcane bagasse ash is known to be an additional cement ingredient that can address the environmental concerns associated with its disposal. Coconut shells are another agricultural waste that is readily available which is facing serious disposal problems. This paper discusses the usage of these materials as a alternative of fine and coarse aggregates with replacement dosages varying from 5% to 20% by weight. The result proved that the usage of coconut shell and baggase ash certified an increase in the compressive strength of concrete without affecting its hardened properties. The optimum replacement ratio of 15% have yielded an marginal increase in the compressive strength. Moreover this will double the benefit of reducing both the cost of building materials and the problems of disposal.
