Your MEP Team Is Losing
6–12 Hours a Week
to Admin Work.
Chasing submittals, re-entering data, compiling reports nobody reads. Your PMs are spending hours on work that should take minutes. We find the bottlenecks and fix them — so your team can get back to running jobs.

The job isn't falling apart at the jobsite. It's falling apart in your inbox.
Missed follow-ups. RFIs that sat for two weeks. Subs waiting on approvals that were “sent” but never confirmed. Admin drag is a slow leak — it doesn't show up on a cost report, but it's costing you real money in overtime, in mistakes, and in burned-out project managers who eventually leave.
Change orders buried in email
An owner sends a change order. It sits in someone's inbox for a week. By the time your PM finds it, the field already built it wrong. Now you're eating the cost and the rework.
Daily reports nobody trusts
Foremen call it in. Office staff transcribes it. Half the details are missing, the other half are wrong. When a dispute shows up six months later, your documentation is a mess.
Submittal tracking by spreadsheet
Your PM is manually updating a tracker at 6 PM because the sub forgot to confirm receipt. Meanwhile, the architect is asking where the shop drawings are — for the third time this week.
A workflow audit that ends with something working — not a slide deck.
We map your PM workflows from daily log to submittal tracking to closeout, identify the top bottlenecks eating the most time, and fix one of them — fully built, tested, and handed off. In 5–10 business days. You walk away with a working process change, not a recommendation report.

We audit your workflows
We sit down with your PMs, your foremen, and your office staff. We map how information actually moves through your projects — and where it breaks down.
You get your hours back
We fix the biggest bottleneck. Not a recommendation report — a working process change your team is already using. Clients typically reclaim 6–12 hours per week.
We know this trade because we've worked in it.
CADmep, ESTmep, CAMduct — learned on the shop floor, not from a sales deck. Tim Raap has been solving fabrication workflow problems since before most consultants knew what BIM was.
We limit new engagements to maintain quality. Every client gets direct access to Tim — not a junior associate, not a subcontractor. The person who scoped the work does the work.
Serving sheet metal fabrication shops, mechanical contractors, and electrical contractors. Tim works on-site daily at an active shop. He sees the problems as they happen — not weeks later in a status report.
Built by someone who's actually been on the job site.
Tim Raap spent two decades in Autodesk Fabrication and MEP project environments. He knows how shop drawings, change orders, and field coordination are supposed to flow — and what it looks like when they don't.
He's not guessing at where construction companies waste time. He's seen it from the inside — daily, on-site, at an active sheet metal fabrication shop. The problems he solves are the ones he's lived with.
RaapTech focuses on construction workflow optimization: finding where your team's time actually goes, identifying the bottlenecks that cost you the most, and fixing them with process changes that stick.
