Late to the party, but I would suggest for the talent key light a Lowel
Rifalight instead of the Chimera. Sets up faster (I've raced Chimera
owners), is a little cheaper, gives a great soft light key. It deploys
like an umbrealla, the shole thing is self-contained and deploys or
stows in about 5 seconds. Comes with a substantial stand, all first
rate quality.

Lightforms eggcrates are muy expensivo, I don't use eggcrate for the
expense, but may make some out of foamcore some day as an experiment.
meanwhile, I use extra stands and foamcore as cutters.

The warehouse is problematical, any way you wanna try and light it, but
I am also surprised nobody's talked about SOUND yet, this kind of space
is often an acoustical nightmare.

If the guy's not going to move around much, maybe you shot a separate
plate of the warehouse where you can tweak colors and balance all day
long in post, and chromakey the guy in using a smaller, more controlled
and quiet space?
