Experience with fiber cement boards for facade cladding?

Hello everyone,

first of all, our house planning has not really started yet, we are still in the idea-finding phase.

I am currently interested in a facade cladding with fiber cement panels. So not those old-fashioned shingles like before, but modern design with relatively large panels. If you google, you can find visually very appealing modern colors.

Does anyone have experience with how much such a thing costs? Or if special conditions need to be met to install them?
We want to build a timber frame house anyway, so the builder could simply attach battens on the outside instead of plaster...

As I said, our project is not concrete yet, but I would like to hear from you about the general sentiment regarding such panels.

Thanks and best regards
