Balance of cost and exposure

A check for know what stays in the wall
Treat this as a planning item: A practical way to put it is that a retrofit or insert-style installation leaves parts of the present frame in place; that remaining frame must be sound. Without them, a low figure may simply omit work the room still needs.
Notes: interior stops
Treat this as a planning item: On this opening, remember that inside stop beads may be reused; their condition and paint should be checked. A clear sentence now is cheaper than a clarification once the opening is open.
A check for future service

Head flashing
Spend a moment on this: It is worth stating plainly that even when most of the old frame remains, water at the head still needs a thought-out path. The value is in the specificity, not in the length of the paragraph.
When full-frame is better
When full-frame is better is a practical check at the opening, not a label on a proposal. The later painter or carpenter should be able to read this without a second tour.
Sill of the old frame
Treat this as a planning item: The field note can read: if the existing sill is decayed, a pocket install may not be the right method. If two people walk the room a week apart, the note should still make the same point.
Color of the remaining frame
