Cost and Billing

Beginning in FY25, there will be an effective billing rate increase of 16.2% across the Facilities Services shops that provide billable services to UH departments. This supports the University of Houston’s commitment to remain market competitive by way of the recent market equity increases and in response to unprecedented market escalation.

The table of shop billing rates for FY25 is provided below. There is no cost increases to departments for regular ongoing maintenance requests for education and general state funded space.  However, services outside of routinely scheduled repairs and maintenance are billable to the campus customer.
