Initial cost, long term, or maintenance?

I have no experience of any, but this may help!

re the hardiplank vs weatherboard question

We are weighing up the cost of building a new home. So, I guess I want to know the initial building cost per metre of each.
Thanks for replying.

Weatherboard wall linings:

Hardboard Plank - $35m2
Fibrecement Plank - $32-$42m2

Labour rates pretty similar at around $17m2 which is included in the above price.

From my OB Building cost guide.

Maintance would probably be less on the hardy plank as it is much quicker to paint, you can do it with a roller
