Hi T.,
If you have the luxury of leaving it a "little rough" while the project is going on, I would at least pull out the threshold (if that is going to be part of the project) and consider how close you want to run the tile up to whatever you're going to put in there. (So identify the threshold you'll use and how they work together.) If you're going to re-use the existing threshold and make the door fit to that, then nevermind but check out your new door to make sure what kind of threshold you'll need.
Good Luck!
K.
