Build options for flex space

[Derek Bell]

I develop and also act as my own GC. Was going to post this to the “contracting” forum, but most of those posts were residential GC. 
I am building two buildings one @ 7500sf and one @ 10500sf right next to each other. All my builds in the past have been PEMB. All metal panels, etc etc. Typical warehouse PEMB. 

The particular city I am building in has required me to do 3 sided brick full elevation. I am thinking of doing my regular PEMB and adding a brick veneer, but not sure. I think the brick veneer might cheapen the look. I could do a PEMB structure with metal studs all the way to the roof deck and then do a traditional brick lay. Or maybe CMU’s?

Not really sure. I am wondering if anyone else on here has any input.

Thx for the reply. 
I’m curious. Have you ever done the brick veneer panels on pemb?

@Derek Bell, @Cole Bigbee is correct. I just recently built a retail building and used the galvalume sheets as the framing to attached your substrate to. Thin brick veneer is great. The brick location on this building is the grey under the wood plank stucco.
