The Harappans people used burnt bricks for constructing buildings. the bricks had a general proportion of 4:2:1. These burnt bricks were used in building the towns of Harappa, Mahenjodaro, and Rupar. Generally, each house had a drawing-room, bedroom, and kitchen. Each had a spacious verandah, bathroom, and a well nearby. The wastewater of the house was drained out to the main drain of the town that fell into a soak pit located outside of the town. It speaks of their sense of health and hygiene. Instances of double-storied houses with staircases made of burnt bricks are also found. Each house was protected by high compound walls to prevent the entry of wild animals. All these are shows their proper plan of house building.
