The construction industry is on the forefront for the growth of any nation. In olden days, shelter was merely a means for survival but in the present age infrastructure symbolises a position of power. In order to build infrastructure, there is a need of material, most importantly building material. Building materials make up for 75% of the total cost of construction. As the years go on, there is a need for innovative and sustainable building materials using industrial, agricultural and natural wastes. Bricks are the most frequently used building constituents in the construction world. For lining furnaces in metallurgy and glass industries, bricks are used. Green building material has attracted attention because of sustainability factor. Using the waste as substitute raw material in manufacturing of building products is an innovative way of waste utilisation. A large quantity of waste is produced in every sector of life. In this paper we have given a thrust on the use of waste material such as lateritic soil, human hair along with other raw materials to manufacture a masonry unit. These materials are used in different proportions, and several trials are conducted to obtain a product with better competencies than a traditional brick, creating an alternative and sustainable masonry unit.
