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.

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

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