We're in the process of building a two-storey house with Hebel external walls. As owner-builders, we've asked a few tradies about the best sequence for installation: should we install the eave boards first or the Hebel panels first? We’ve received mixed responses, so we’re still unsure about which approach is better. Any advice on the correct order and reasoning behind it would be greatly appreciated.

If the cladding ie hebel stops just under the eave line, then that means the top 250 mm of your external wall is not cladded. Even if the hebel passes 50-85 mm above the eave line then around 170-200mm of the external wall is not cladded. In my opinion neither is satisfactory. 2 40115 I've gone for pre-fab walls.
