Abstract :In this study, a sample project prepared for the construction of straw bale brick masonry; work time, cost, material and heat efficiency evaluations were made to compare straw home and brick masonry house construction. As a result of the literature search carried out towards this aim, the information obtained and the research findings were evaluated together. As a result, hay bales and land consolidation house construction, the calculations and evaluations made on the sample project show that the straw house construction is completed in a shorter time, the cost is lower and the heat efficiency is higher. Calculations made on the straw bale sample house project reveal that the straw house is more economical and energy-saving, so it can be preferred to the house.
