PLANNING FOR SUCCESS
Every successful project begins with a plan. We offer complete project analysis, from floor plan drawings to post move clean up. One of the many advantages of partnering with Flood Brothers is our expertise in move management. We will work with your library’s move team to assemble and prepare your collections for relocation. We go through your move process step by step, allowing for questions to erase any ambiguity. It is our goal to eliminate obstacles before they happen.

RANGE INTEGRITY

By keeping the range intact and facilitate a much smoother and quicker process than pulling the books and taking down and rebuilding the ranges.

NATIONAL COVERAGE

Flood Brothers generates the optimum crew size to accomplish all projects with little or no downtime during the process. We also manage the schedule of our crews to ensure that each project is staffed with well rested employees so that movers do not arrive from a normal business hour job and work until they are exhausted late at night. In this way we minimize damage, maximize performance and generate a fun and positive experience for our staff and our clients. Our approach is to staff the crew with enough labor to meet or exceed our client’s expectations. We accomplish this using only full time, trained employees, as opposed to temporary labor. Flood Brothers realizes the importance of completing each phase of the project within the time limits specified.
Because Flood Brothers has the South’s largest staff of company employees in our industry, we are never short-staffed. Therefore we rarely have to charge Over Time. By properly staffing the project you should not have to pay Over Time, which is paying 50% more for a team that is 50% less effective. Also, Flood Brothers avoids using “Temp Labor” on a project which virtually eliminates downtime and jobsite delays. LIMITED BUDGET PROJECTS
Although, Flood Brothers has trained crews for all your Library projects, we recognize that sometimes budgets only allow for alternative labor sources. We can help make these projects successful by providing our experienced Project Management to work hand in hand with your team. You can still achieve the efficiencies desired by utilizing their leadership and expertise to direct your labor or volunteers for budget sensitive “do-it-yourself” projects. Of course, sometimes you need more labor than you may have currently available. We can also provide the extra labor to assist your team with the heavier lifting or more tedious tasks that require more hands for your “Hands on” move.
