Looking good.
Corrugated metal on the walls with T&G pine on the ceilings would look fantastic. I am not sure how that sits in terms of insulation and your building codes but if I had my time over it would certainly be a consideration.

My experience is that darker ceilings really soak up light. My shop had a white ceiling and I had it sprayed with foam. The color is a light tan and it really changes the quality of the light in the space. The plan is to cover it with white "Ag Tuff" when I have the money.

Nice looking garage, love the brickwork!
I am guessing your exterior choice was made to match the house.
It sure looks like you have a lot of easement all around the garage.
Won't the brick veneer hinder any future expansion?
Was that even a consideration when you choose brick for the exterior?
I see your interior rafters provide extra height, great idea when considering design and access for a future lift.
Love the garage and open space you have, good job!
I think corrugated metal for the interior might be a problem when you try to mount wall cabinets or shelving ...
Not having a flat surface to work with...
If you change the layout, having holes in the walls that can't be patched to look like the equipment was never there, could be an issue...
Metal is a conductor of heat and electricity...living in a warm climate, the walls could radiate heat or if a electric device is hanging on the wall and fails, you could potentially energize the wall to conduct electricity...
If you wanted to paint the walls in the future, you'll have to metal prime the wall first.
And using a roller on a wavy surface isn't easy.
Just some food for thought.....and my 2 cents...enjoy the space!!!

Is the cost for this being stick built in line with that of a pole barn or is it higher?
Just wondering because I am looking to do one much like this where I am at, except with the garage door on the end wall because of how I will need to place it on the lot.

This priced out at ~$40 a sq. foot. We did supply the brick as it was included with the purchase of the farm.
Ambenz- Thanks for the thoughts, Most of the same ones I have pondered. We are going 4 ft. up on the walls with the metal and 3/8 rough plywood from there. Also the insulation should help with the radiant heat issue. Not much room for expansion where it is without getting into horse pasture and my wife says no. We have another 30x50 shed on the property so hopefully between these two buildings I won't need anymore.

Looks good so far. As far as putting corrugated metal inside, Going on a complete wall from top to bottom, at least to me, looks cold.
I still have some to put up as wainscoting, but I ran mine 3' up the wall, then drywalled above that. I build some 1x2's out to cover the top edge, but after I did, I thought "why didn't I use some vinyl "J" channel?
I still have my front and back wall to do, but I am going to wait until I get my addition built, then do it all at once when I get my cabinets moved and holes filled.
On a personal note, I do like the corrugated metal in a garage.

Looking great. Did you use the Cree 4ft t8 format lights? Regardless, would like to hear more about the lights you are using and any other thoughts.
These are the lights we did. They are really bright and only used three to use as main lighting.
