Abstract--In Egypt, many obstacles obstruct the archeological and historic buildings and facilities restoration projects with respect to the ability to meet the relevant requirements and take the best restoration decision in spite of the status of the archeological and historic building. Due to the significance of such matter, this thesis will unveil the differences between the archeological and historic buildings and facilities as well as the factors of damage affecting thereon. In addition, this thesis will discuss the means to be used in detecting the damage in the archeological and historic buildings and facilities and the problems witnessed upon to perform the restoration projects thereof, noting that some of these problems were solved through preparing a programmed standardization system for these projects. This requires analyzing the archeological and historic buildings and facilities restoration projects in four stages to be described herein to identify the inputs and outputs of the programmed standardization system.
