Abstract- In our country, Economically Weaker and depressed section of the community miss out the opportunity of owning an own house, security, dignity and Governmental schemes. In this evolving world where land prices are reaching sky-high and the current methods of construction practiced i.e., RCC construction, which takes lots of time for construction, expensive and not environmentally friendly indicates for the use of alternative and good construction materials. One such material is GFRG-Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum Panels. This material is manufactured from waste gypsum a byproduct from fertilizer industry and perform better when compared to a RCC in many ways. To prove which method is more acceptable for today’s changing world especially from Economically Weaker Sections point of view, a comparative study had been made. The study comprises of comparisons drawn between the conventional RCC construction and GFRG construction in terms of their performance during exposure to loads, Cost of construction and timeline analysis. Research has found gypsum to be a durable material, and it is already heavily in use as partition walls. Experts predict that a building made of GFRG panels can have a life span of 60 years. And the material has been approved as green building material by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
