re: Putting siding on a metal building

How close are the "highs" on the existing R panel?
I would try to get away with screwing to the sheeting if the ribs are close. You'll probably have to get rid of any stitch screws that are on the highs between exiting R panels.
If they are within 16" I would go for it with no sheathing. You will have to caulk, putty, and paint the Hardi plank siding wall after the fact to prevent water intrusion and leaks/rust on those penetrations in the future.
You may have to get the metal building company to make some custom eave and corner flashing to lap over the siding at the corner at the roof.
