Hello,
if you want paneling, painted råspont type, in any room in the upcoming new build, do you exclude the plasterboards then? Or should you attach the paneling on top of the plasterboard? We probably want a living room with panel walls/ceiling (we think..)

You can disregard the plaster.
Either you make sure to stud the wall so you have horizontal studs to nail the panel into at cc60, or you do as we did here and attach an OSB board to the studs and nail the panel into that. I don't know which option is "best," both probably work excellently.

Thanks for the reply,
okay, if I make sure the carpenters building our stick-built house skip drywalling the walls that will have paneling, I can put up the OSB boards myself. However, it might get tricky for the electrician, he prefers to finish his work as quickly as possible... but the carpenters can install OSB where the electrical boxes will be mounted... then it should be a simple matter to extend the screw for the boxes afterward since the paneling doesn't add much thickness when nailed directly into OSB?
Is OSB much more expensive than 13mm drywall?
Does it sound tricky? ???

But tell the carpenters to frame as usual and then install horizontal cross braces at cc60 between all the studs. Then it’s ready for you to nail the paneling later.
The electrician probably doesn't care about the boards, as he installs the boxes in the studs, before the boards are mounted of course. However, he might want to know if you're going to have OSB behind the paneling or not - without OSB it’s boxes with a single conduit fitting, with OSB it’s best with double conduit fittings so the boxes are still flush with the paneling.
OSB is much more expensive, over twice as expensive as drywall.
