Painting should be done during the building if it’s exterior. Putting up wood and slapping a coat of paint on it is useless. All wood surfaces (and I mean all six sided ) should at least be primed before installation. Water gets in behind the woodwork and rots it from inside. Caulk works for awhile, but eventually shrinks and cracks allowing water in. Everything I build each part gets primed with oil based primer and one coat of paint. Sure it takes longer but it lasts longer too.
