Hi Callum
The type of sheet metal wall cladding used on the sides of modern industrial premises is usually of a corrigated profile either rounded [Roma?] or angular [Greca?], while the roofing is usually either corrigated or tray decking. Occasionally tray decking is specified for walls but usually more for architectural effect.
As far as your question about the styrene goes, I bought the following Evergreen sheets for when I build my version of TQW Warehouse;
Item no. 19060 Dealer Pack of 4 sheets of .060" x 24 "x 12" PLAIN
Item no. 14544 one sheet .125" x 24"x 12" BOARD AND BATTEN of which I purchased three sheets.
You will find that buying your styrene in these size sheets works out cheaper than buying the 12" x 6" sheets and may also require less joins during construction.
I chose the .125 board and batten because it seemed to about right for the look of tray deck and is almost a match for the Pikestuff roof panels. Its not exact as the Pikestuff is slightly wider but if used carefully most people will never pick the slight difference in spacing.
I hope that this has helped you with your questions.
