If you bind the fretboard, you usually tend to install the fretboard on the neck, then install the binding, and then install the frets. At least I do.
I bind fingerboards and peghead veneers before installing them. Just like Martin. Martin used to install frets after the fingerboard was installed, but no more. They now fret the fingerboard before instrallation, as Gibson has always done.
The advantage of fretting after installation is the ability to level the fingerboard.
