The price of construction materials ha to increase day by day due to the deteriorating economic situation of the country. Hence, this study was investigated and conducted to produce concrete by using coconut ash which took from coconut fiber as cement replacement to reduce the use of cement. In this study, concrete will be produced by using coconut ash, cement, coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, and water where it aims to achieve the objectives which are to determine the workability of concrete and to determine compressive strength of concrete. The percentage of coconut ash that will be used as cement replacement is 0%, 6%, and 8%. The volume of the concrete that will be produced by using a mold is a length of 100 mm, a width of 100 mm, and a height of 100 mm. The concrete produced will be tested in 7 days, 14 days, and 28 days.
