The poles in the ground are alright if they are properly treated. The problem is you can't tell by looking at them if they are done right or not. You have to cut about six inches off the pole to find out. Sometimes you can go by brand. Yellawood is the worst for just staining the wood with the chemical instead of actually pressure treating it. I use LIfeWood and have never gotten any pretend treated wood. Then there is the wood that says treated appearance. It should be used above ground and also in a fairly protected location, it needs to say For Ground Contact. The benefit of having posts in the ground is you can just pour a 4 floor right up to the walls. Building on top of the slab you would have to pour a concrete beam around the parameter. The only issue with that kind of construction is if the building is out in the open and you get some very high winds. Under those circumstances it might be better to use steel posts and insert bolts into the slab as you are pouring it.
