Looking to Build New Front Door in Cedar...

Im trying to emulate the attached photo for our front door.
I've ordered the bricks from the brick pit in Paramatta and they are due in 2 weeks.

What I have is cedar windos now arrived in the front of the house and want to set the front door the same.

I've sketched out a draft arrangement

but have never done this sort of thing before and am curious about;


1. Do I really have to use cedar or can I get the same finish with something a bit more amenable to price.(..like half the price)
2. I assume and have drawn 25mm quad to fill all gaps. Would this be in cedar?
3. I presume I'll have to use a cedar door jamb - assume 40mm thick
4. Not sure on how to finish the centre post between the door and the side lite.

I talked to a chippy yesterday but he suggested to me I order all the timber - what to order is another big problem.

All suggestions (apart from "buy one already made") welcome.
