1" foam on outside

How is this accomplished? We are building a home with 1/2" OSB, and if we add 1" of foam, then our hardiplank siding will stick out beyond the edge of the brick ledge trim at the outside perimter of the windows. Can you get a deeper brickledge?

Also, if you use foam instead of a house wrap, do you install the foam 1st and the windows second? Would this not cause the windows to be nailed into foam causing an unstable nailing surface since the foam may get futher compressed with time?
