      This house is so beautiful. Can you tell me, is it cheaper to build a house out of weatherboards these days? Are they standard weatherboards as I see so many but love these more, please explain what I should ask for?

      You'll need to ask a local contractor for relative costs; sorry that I cannot help you with that.
