Ever consider precast foundation walls? http://www.nciprecast.com/basements.html

Comparably priced to cast in place but overall quality is superior since they're cast in a controlled envirment and steam cured. The footer and wall is cast into one piece. All you have to do is dig the footer and place pea gravel. They do the final grading and install. These are even better if you do a basement because they come insulated with studs cast right in. I would have used them at my place but I didn't learn about them until two days before my footers went in.

Don't you need foundation walls thicker than 8" for a brick exterior finish?
