A couple of questions to ask of him...

1.  Will a lintel be fitted to support the outer leaf of brickwork if it is required ? (If you have a stone/concrete lintel visible from the outside, then extra support won't be needed).
2.  Building Regulation compliance - Will he be handling all the Building Control/regulation paperwork, or is that being left to you to sort out ?

If the latter, you will need a certificate confirming the thermal performance of the doors & frames meet current requirements (unless this is a listed property, in which case, there is a bunch more hoops you have to jump through).
