No additional management fee is charged on changes to the work.    However, the total cost of the work is subject to a 2% direct overhead fee, which covers the cost of the general liability insurance premiums that relate to the project.  This fee structure benefits the client by eliminating any incentive to drive cost and enhancing the incentive to finish the project on schedule.
