MawisUtility – A digital solution for bulk submission of requests for statements regarding the existence of utility networks

MawisUtility saves time and money for builders, designers, developers, and network administrators. The app can identify all network administrators in a given area and request their input on a proposed construction project all at once. 

The administrative burden associated with submitting requests for information on the location of utility lines has long been a challenge for builders, designers, and developers. The MawisUtility web application, operated by Hrdlička, has been providing an effective online solution for 15 years—it enables the bulk and organized submission of requests online, thereby saving time and money and eliminating errors. 

A quick solution for all builders 

The MawisUtility app makes it easy to contact all technical infrastructure operators in the area where construction is planned. Thanks to its integration with the Register of Technical Infrastructure Entities (RSTI), requests for comments are sent only to the relevant operators. A process that used to take several hours can now be completed by the user in just a few minutes—and, most importantly, with the certainty that no entity has been overlooked. 

What does MawisUtility offer? 

• Identification of the property owners affected by the proposed construction project. 
• Bulk submission of requests for a determination regarding the existence of networks. 
• A public portal for submitting requests to municipalities, regions, and administrators. 
• The "Turnkey Statement" Service – we'll handle the statements for you. 

Unlike the government’s Builder Portal, which launched on July 1, 2024, as a limited version lacking key application functionality, MawisUtility is a fully functional and stable tool that has been supporting the digitization of public administration for more than 15 years. 

“It’s great that it’s no longer an open secret, but a public fact, that the Builder’s Portal isn’t working as originally planned. Our MawisUtility app, on the other hand, does work, and what’s more, it is one of the few fully digital and verified construction management tools,” commented Jan Floriánek, CEO of Hrdlička, last summer on the crisis at the Ministry of Regional Development.

Who is already using MawisUtility? 

• Developers and citizens—they use the app primarily to submit the applications required for building permits and pre-project preparation. In regions that have subscribed to the service, citizens can access it through public filing offices. 
• Designers and architects appreciate the ability to prepare documentation—including statements regarding the existence of utility networks—for investors quickly, without having to submit duplicate requests, and with the assurance that all relevant utility providers have been contacted. 
• Development and construction companies—use the application to plan construction projects, prepare pre-project and project documentation, and obtain the required legal approvals for larger construction projects. 
• Technical infrastructure managers – receive standardized, clear, and complete requests in a structured format, which simplifies and speeds up their processing. MawisUtility also helps identify unauthorized or incomplete requests. 
• Public administration and government institutions—including regional authorities and other public authorities—can integrate the service as a means of digitizing processes in the areas of land-use planning and building permits. 

Thanks to its wide range of applications and user-friendly interface, MawisUtility has become the standard for digital communication between builders and property managers. Many organizations now consider it an indispensable tool in their daily work. 

In 2024 alone, nearly 500,000 applications were submitted through MawisUtility. 

A total of 8 regions have made this service available to their residents as a Public Application Submission Portal, thereby contributing to higher-quality and more transparent building permit procedures. 

The Benefits of the Service: Why Should I Use MawisUtility? 

• You will receive an up-to-date list of network owners and administrators to whom you can send your request. 
• You only need to fill out one form. It will be sent to everyone.
• The application is always complete because it contains all the required information. 
• Electronic filing will save you a significant amount of time. 
• You can request a statement anywhere in the Czech Republic. 
• The applicant's information will be filled in automatically on the form. 
• You'll get an overview of all submitted applications, including details. 
• Registered users can access advanced map data. 

What does the future hold for the digitization of construction management? 

The MawisUtility app is linked to the Citizen Portal as a regional service for the Plzeň Region and the Vysočina Region. Its value is undeniable in the current phase of digitization, and until the national solution is fully functional, it remains an indispensable tool for every builder.
