What is the optimal size for a silicate brick garage and what costs should I be prepared for?

Soon we will release the plot for building, on top of everything else we have thousands of brand new sand-lime bricks. Actually, I was planning to put a carport next to the house, but in view of the available material, the idea of a massive garage for a car, a mid-range station wagon category. What size should I plan for and what other costs would I incur?

I would do the brickwork myself under the "guidance" of a mason. Time is not the deciding factor, I view this as a vacation project.... It's not designed for living, so no heating or special insulation is planned. Just room for the car and a couple of closets for tools, winter wheels, etc., a window and gate. I'm sure it's not as easy as I imagine, so thank you for your experience and advice.
