Abstract
The Dutch construction industry is making a change from an owner controlled to a contractor-controlled environment.  It is a movement from a top down culture (management, direction and control) to a bottom up culture (alignment and use of expertise).  Owner decision making, management, direction and control are being replaced with a leadership model, which aligns and utilizes the expertise of the contractors.  The changes in the Dutch construction industry validate a non-traditional research model, which used deductive logic and case studies involving dominant information and visionary industry participants, non-traditional concepts of Information Measurement Theory (IMT), the Construction Industry Structure (CIS) model and the best value Performance Information Procurement System (PIPS).
