Default Building a Brick Garage

I figure there should be a few poeple on here that have built a brick garage so what better place to ask a few questions. The reason I'm going brick is that it will look a bit better and last a lot longer (I'm planning on dying in this house).

As I have a bit of room to spare in the back yard I was hoping to build a 8m (depth) x 10m (width), giving me room for two cars and a whole bay for a workshop. Now my questions are:

1) Is a 4" slap thick enough or should I go for a 5" slap?

2) Does 5000 bricks sound about right for such a sized job?

3) What would be a good estimate for such a job?

4) Am I going too big (or too small)?

5) Any tips you may have?

And another thing, I'm still tossing up whether to have a concrete driveway (stenciled) or hot mix. What are people experiences with driveways, i.e. costs per sqm, maintenance costs, etc.

Cheers.
