How much "extra" does it cost to do hand-laid brick vs pre-cast panels of quasi-brick materials?

Seems like the tide changed in the last couple years and it’s now cheaper to hand lay bricks. A bunch of projects have done it recently. There’s no way this project chooses the more expensive option if you ask me
 
Crane came down on Thursday 2/5:

And progress is being made on the cladding as of today 2/11:

I never expected Ave. Louis Pasteur to look that dense from any angle.

And I've obviously not paid close attention to this project, because I didn't even realize it was on Ave Louis Pasteur until I saw that shot. I haven't really spent any time on that street since my youngest graduated from BLS a few years back, this is a substantial change.

I got this photo at the Celebration of BLS back in the fall, the new building really looms over Latin (and the rest of the street).

Am I missing something here? Are we criticizing the appearance of a building that still doesn't have its (brick) cladding?

I know the facade isn’t installed. Once they finish, it’ll still be a jumbled disjointed mess. Just red.
