VC Square in Dublin, Ohio is moving upward. Two buildings are being framed at the same time, and aerial photos of the site show how quickly the project is taking shape. CAC Wall Panels is the engineered components supplier for VC Square, building the components in Indiana that are now going up on site in Dublin.
Where does VC Square stand right now?
VC Square is in active framing, with two buildings being erected simultaneously. Engineered components from CAC Wall Panels, including floor trusses and roof trusses, are being set level by level as each building rises. The project moved into this phase after an extended design and coordination stage earlier this year.
From Design Phase to Framing
When we announced our selection for VC Square in June, the project was in a critical design phase. Our team was working through every detail with the project team, from HVAC and plumbing routes to deck beams and structural coordination, before any component moved into production.
That up-front work is what makes the current pace possible. Components that were coordinated on paper show up on site ready to set, without crews stopping to cut, modify, or wait on answers in the field. As the saying goes, you can use an eraser at the drafting table, or a sledgehammer at the construction site.
What It Takes to Frame Two Buildings at Once
Framing two buildings at the same time puts more pressure on production and delivery than a single building does. Each building needs its own components arriving in the right order, at the right time, so both crews can keep working without waiting on material.
For a supplier, that comes down to a few things:
- Production scheduled around both buildings' framing sequences, not just one
- Components bundled and labeled by building and by level, so crews pull the right material for the right structure
- Delivery timing coordinated with the site so material arrives as it is needed and the laydown area stays workable
Engineered floor and roof trusses help here because they are built to exact dimensions in a controlled facility before they ship. When every truss matches the drawings, the crew on each building can set them in sequence and move on to the next level.
Why Aerial Photos Matter on a Project Like This
From the ground, a jobsite can look like a lot of separate activity. From the air, you can see the full scale of the project and how much has been accomplished. The latest aerial photos of VC Square show both buildings rising side by side, with framing progressing level after level.
Progress like this comes from a lot of people doing their part: our production team in Indiana, our field partners, and the crews on site in Dublin. It is rewarding to see the work from the plant and the work in the field come together in real time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is VC Square? VC Square is a residential construction project in Dublin, Ohio. The project includes two buildings that are currently being framed at the same time.
What is CAC Wall Panels supplying for VC Square? CAC Wall Panels is the engineered components supplier for VC Square, providing components that include floor trusses and roof trusses, built at our facilities in Indiana.
Can two buildings be framed at the same time with prefabricated components? Yes. It takes production and delivery scheduled around both buildings, with components labeled by building and level so each crew receives the right material in the right order.
Why does the design phase matter so much on a multifamily project? Coordinating mechanical, plumbing, and structural details before production means components arrive ready to install. Changes are far easier to make on drawings than on a jobsite.
Who does CAC Wall Panels work with on VC Square? CAC Wall Panels is supplying VC Square in partnership with Contract Lumber.
