How do I finish the outside of the window? You will see block, caulk, 2X4, window flange, correct?
Anything else?

I done one of these not long ago.
We used a window that mounted right to the cinderblock on the outside wall. It was a nice clean fit.
The window was made for this type of application.
Get your window first. It should come with some metal trims for the inside.
We used large angle iorn above it as a header.
On the inside.
But we didn't have lots of room.
The wall went from 8" block to 12" we made a nice step shelf at the bottom, on the inside..
Also we installed a drain at the bottom of our window well, That was kind of important. We built the well out of treated 6x6's.
I don't know how far you have to dig down on the outside. You may have to cut some of the water proofing if so be very careful about sealing it back.
Hang plastic on the inside from the cieling to the floor all around your work space. Besides the concrete saw. You will need dust mask. A chipping or hammer drill would be help full, and a Large canister vacume.
Do an image search for egress window on google. You can get some nice ideas.
