Thanks Terry, we have no codes here - but I don't want it to burn down either. The electrical contractor has been out and the H/A guy will be here tomorrow afternoon. Then, if everything works out, we'll meet with the contractor Sunday afternoon for a sit-down and explanation of his estimates. I have a feeling he just went down a checklist — without actually working it out.
This one wall is 24' long 10' high so if we use sheetrock under the panelling I'd use less than 1/2" — and pretty sure we can do the shiplap ourselves. We will have him finish up the ceiling and it may need 1/2", taped and painted. He may also have included some areas we don't want sheetrock - plus a small room that we can easily do ourselves. Or maybe he thinks we have a money tree growing out back, LOL. WRONG!

(My thought from commercial construction experience) is that you would want the sheetrock for fire protection of the structure; (may) even be required by codes, even residential. Your pricing looks high (without discussing square footage), but I maybe out of date.... old fart that still recalls $0.10 Krystals and kerosene and $0.27/ gal gasoline, LOL... but still 15-20yrs out from pricing...
The shiplap/ veneer can be installed w/ construction adhesive.
