REQUEST VIP coordinates the people, vendors and calendars needed to keep a private residence ready for its owners and guests. The service begins with an operating standard for each home: who may instruct, who approves spending, which systems are critical and what “arrival ready” means. Property, employment and security specialists retain their own professional responsibilities.

Key Facts

  • Household operations need a named owner, approval limits and a service record for every residence.
  • A staffing introduction does not replace lawful hiring, worker consent, references or role-specific screening.
  • Keys, alarm data, staff records and family itineraries should be restricted to people who genuinely need them.
  • Local employment, building, insurance, safety and licensing rules control even when one brief spans several countries.

Luxury Home Concierge and Household Management

The residence manual should list contacts, systems, warranties, approved vendors, access rules, recurring tasks, inventories and escalation. A weekly view can separate routine work from decisions that need owner approval. Before arrival, the checklist may cover utilities, climate, rooms, provisions, vehicles, deliveries and current maintenance—not an unsupported claim that every detail is always monitored.

Estate Management

An estate plan connects the main house, guest accommodation, gardens, pools, technical rooms, vehicles and active projects. Record asset condition, responsible contractor, service interval, quote approval and evidence of completion. Legal property management, construction supervision and regulated technical inspections must be assigned to providers authorised for the location.

Household Staffing

Recruitment starts with the real employer, workplace, reporting line, duties, schedule, live-in terms, compensation framework and confidentiality boundaries. ILO Convention 189 identifies clear written employment terms as an important protection for domestic workers. Jurisdiction-specific right-to-work and criminal-record processes still require local advice; one country’s check cannot be treated as a universal clearance.

Butlers, Private Chefs and Nannies

Each position requires different evidence. A butler brief may prioritise service leadership and team coordination; a chef brief needs cuisine, allergies, procurement and kitchen standards; a nanny brief centres on child needs, safeguarding and parental expectations. REQUEST VIP should disclose whether it introduces candidates or acts through a licensed recruitment partner.

Residential Security

Security begins with a confidential assessment of people, premises, routines and credible risks. The plan may address access, alarm response, cyber-connected home systems, travel handoffs and incident escalation. A concierge can schedule and coordinate; licensed security professionals decide protective measures and operational command.

How It Works

  1. Map each residence, occupants, staff, systems, standards, suppliers and immediate priorities.
  2. REQUEST VIP confirms the service boundary, coverage, authority matrix, information controls and commercial terms.
  3. Approve the operating plan, recruitment briefs, vendor work, budgets and specialist responsibilities.
  4. Review completed tasks, exceptions, costs, upcoming decisions and evidence in a concise residence report.

FAQ

Can one team coordinate several homes?

A multi-residence brief is possible only where local coverage, responsible managers, suppliers and reporting arrangements are confirmed for every property.

Does REQUEST VIP employ household staff directly?

That role is not verified.

Are background checks the same in every country?

No. Eligibility, consent, available records and permitted use vary. The employer should use a lawful, proportionate process in each jurisdiction.

Is the service available around the clock?

Continuous coverage cannot be inferred. The agreement must state staffed hours, monitored channels, escalation targets and any emergency charges.
