Residence and household operations coordination

ORION coordinates residence preparation, upkeep and operational follow-up under the instructions, access rules and approval levels agreed with the family or mandating structure.

An assignment centred on the residence

The service organises work relating to the property, its operation and readiness. Family requests not directly connected with the residence sit under private-life coordination.

Actionable instructions

Occupancy dates, access, priorities, contacts, spending thresholds and escalation procedures are agreed before work begins.

Providers remain responsible for their work

ORION follows quotations, appointments and reporting; each company or professional remains responsible for its assessment and intervention.

When this service may be relevant

  • Preparing a residence before arrival or following an absence.
  • Coordinating several maintenance items without multiplying owner exchanges.
  • Providing a family office with reporting under its procedures and approval levels.
  • Organising existing providers or household staff within a defined operational framework.

Useful information for initial scoping

  • Occupancy periods and relevant deadlines.
  • A general list of the systems or operations concerned.
  • Access rules, authorised contacts and known restrictions.
  • Existing providers, contracts and approval thresholds.

Do not send codes, keys, detailed plans or security information during the initial exchange.

How an assignment proceeds

  1. Confidential initial exchange

    Outline the general context, priorities and timing without sending sensitive information that is not yet necessary.

  2. Scope and feasibility

    Clarify the scope, location, constraints, responsibilities and any independent providers that may be required.

  3. Proposal and approval

    Review the proposed coordination, arrangements, anticipated costs where available and required approvals before any commitment is made.

  4. Coordination and agreed reporting

    Following approval, ORION coordinates the agreed scope and provides updates in the format defined for the assignment.

Roles and responsibilities

The owner or mandating party

Sets instructions, access rights, approval thresholds and reserved decisions.

ORION

Schedules exchanges, follows the approved scope and flags deviations or decisions required.

Providers

Remain responsible for assessments, quotations, stated timescales, work and professional duties.

What this service does not imply

ORION does not replace the owner, a regulated property manager or technical contractors. A coordination check is not certification of work, and the absence of incidents cannot be guaranteed.

Residence operations questions

Can an assignment begin before an arrival or absence?

Yes, subject to feasibility and once instructions, access, priorities and authorised decision-makers have been defined.

How are maintenance quotations and appointments handled?

ORION can centralise proposals and scheduling, then follow approved decisions. The provider remains responsible for its assessment, price and work.

What happens when an unexpected issue needs a decision?

The agreed escalation process and approval thresholds determine who is contacted and what may be coordinated. They do not guarantee an immediate intervention.

Scope a residence without sharing access details

Outline the type of residence, relevant period and general operations to coordinate. Access arrangements are considered only after qualification and agreement on the framework.
