One of the greatest modern technologies of current century is nanotechnology which can be useful in eliminating the needs of construction industry. The purpose of this paper is to study procedure and advantages of using this technology in construction industry, specifically in houses in north of Iran. Accordingly, documentary study method is used to reach the aforementioned purpose and research method is descriptive-analytical. The results show that despite the high cost of nanomaterial, using nanotechnology in construction industry could cut a lot in direct material expenses and eventually, these expenses return to the building.&lt;/p&gt;
