Core drill, if its only a 1 off go to a hire shop

If it's only 4cm and through brick you should be able to chisel through quite easily.

Stitch drill as suggested for a one off with an SDS drill. If you take your time you can get a reasonable clean hole. No point wasting money on hiring a core drill for that sort of size hole.
