Commercial wood framing

I have a question regarding wood framing in a warehouse. The customer is looking to add a few offices/storage rooms in a warehouse. Drywall inside/chipboard exterior.

Generally we would just frame this in steel but this customer is insisting on wood framing. Whenever we do wood we always fire rate it (type x 5/8" etc) There are no permits on this job as it is only a few small rooms.

I'm wondering if I should talk him into steel framing or go along with his request for stick framing ? what are the pros and cons in a warehouse environment ?
