Mud room construction

Hi all - I'm in the process of moving my entrance to the house so I can build a mud room. Where the entrance door now hangs I want to replace with a window. How does one usually measure the size of the window to match the rest of the house so I can rough frame the opening? There must be an easy way, I just need to know what it is before I do any window shopping. Thank - Roger

I was told by the carpenter who replaced my windows, that you would frame an extra 1/2" on each side to allow for shims. So a 36x48 window would have a 37x49 rough opening. I've done a few doors with the same theory and that has worked well, but I'm no carpenter
