  note: An increase towards urban development have created less importance towards rural areas as the community depending on economical and low cost housing. This study is based on determining geotechnical properties of laterite soil encountered in Kuantan, Pahang. Related journals and articles were reviewed to obtain sufficient experimental result information. The objectives of this study were satisfied by a series of preliminary laboratory experiments. The objective of this study is to determine the engineering properties of laterite soil and determine effect of banana fiber on laterite soil unconfined compressive strength. The findings from this research started with Natural Moisture Content, NMC of laterite soil ranged at 16.16%. Particle size distribution curve shows that the soil is well graded with proportions of aggregate less than 15%, sand and fine grains in the range more than 50%. Liquid Limit, Plastic Limit and Plasticity Index of laterite soil is 40.94%, 23.26% and 17.68% respectively. Plasticity Chart plot lies above A-line classifying as soil containing inorganic clays of low or medium plasticity (CL). Laterite soil attains Optimum moisture content, OMC at 16% and Maximum dry density, MDD at 1.92../....3. Samples prepared once the OMC and MDD were attained to be stabilized with (0%, 0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75% and 1%) and (4cm,5cm,6cm and 7cm of banana fiber). The UCS of laterite soil with OMC and MDD stabilized with 0.75% content achieved 211.78..../..2. Based on UCS results, it can be clearly seen that as the fiber content and fiber length increases, the UCS of laterite soil increases. However with further increases in fiber contact and fiber length reduces the UCS. The optimum banana fiber content and length achieved was at 0.75% with 60mmn fiber length where UCS obtained was 211.78..../..2.Each citation made are included in References. In depth data and tables are included in Appendix 1- 4
