There are a lot of factors on how to do a cutout and work with the bees. You may not want to use a bee vac the first time as there can be a learning curve where they don’t make it. If it is indoors, you will most likely have to use it. You will want to get the bees off the comb so you can set it down, trimming it to size.You can brush or shake the bees into the box. I would not seal up the box for 48 hours. I may leave a small amount of honey comb for them to eat, but too much will attract ants and other colonies which will spook the bees possibly taking off.

I can have a look at your friend’s house and give them a proper assessment on what it would take to complete the job properly.
