A building component comprises a cladding unit having an overhang portion and a securing portion. The outer face of the overhang portion serves as a barge/fascia board. The lower face of the overhang portion serves as a soffit. The cladding unit is thin walled and of sideways S-shape with three spaced upright parallel walls. Two walls namely one outer wall and the center wall are connected by a lower plate at their lower edges and form the overhang and two walls namely the center wall and the second outer wall are connected by an upper plate at their upper edges and form the securing portion.

1. A building component used with the wall of a building to cap the building wall, said building component comprising a cladding unit having an overhang portion and a securing portion, an outer face of the overhang portion serving as a fascia board and a lower face of the overhang portion serving as a soffit, the cladding unit being thin walled and cross-sectionally of substantially an S-shape with three spaced upright parallel walls, two walls of which, one outer wall and the center wall, being connected by a lower plate at their lower edges and two walls, the center wall and the second outer wall, being connected by an upper plate at their upper edges, the cladding unit being dimensioned with respect to the thickness of the building wall such that the center wall and the second outer wall, along with the upper plate, form the securing portion for the building wall, such that when the securing portion is placed over the top of the building wall the securing portion caps the building wall, with the center wall and the second outer wall just fitting around the outer surfaces of the building wall, and wherein the securing portion also serves as a capping portion by extending across a cavity in the wall.
