Review

Marcin suggests simplest approach in House Module 1, with corners being Basket Weave. For Doors and Windows - I suggest a modified 'Basket Weave with middle brick missing - because if bricks are slightly over 4" in some cases, we will have trouble.

I suggest avoiding bricks over the lintels found over windows and doors - replacing these with a bond beam instead. This avoids the interfacing details on top of wood. I suggest frames for doors and windows are put in before bricks are laid around these apertures so we do all brick laying with no velocity decrease due to apertures.
