The temporary recruitment of foreign workers may provide the Dutch construction companies with the flexibility the building market demands.
Trade union AVBB expects that an increase in the number of self-employed foreign workers will stimulate the Dutch domestic construction industry and offer lower prices to consumers.
AVBB states that changes in the industry will include communication problems between workers and greater competition for Dutch companies.
European Union residents can become self-employed workers in the Netherlands after the registration with the Chamber of Commerce (KvK).
