Depends on who gets there first!

Actually, since you are working with stone it is easiest to put the 
threshold down first, set the door on top of that and cut the door 
casing to sit on top of the threshold, covering up the square cut of the 
threshold around the framing. Stone can be coped to match the trim, but 
it is a lot of slow expensive work. In most homes I have worked on the 
doors and casing is installed before the vinyl floor and underlayment is 
installed. If the door or casing is set too low we just cut if off at a 
height that allows the underlayment and tile to be slipped under. If the 
floor is already in place we just run the casing down to the floor.

Peace,
Pat
