Leo my son put a new house on a wood foundation ten years ago. Might have been done by the same outfit that did yours. Like you mentioned the wood is not placed against the surrounding soil. Drainage is important. There is 24" of pea rock surrounding the foundation and 12" or more under the floor. He chose to have a wooden floor too. Tile runs under the pea rock around the diameter of the house and tile is under the basement floor. The outside of the basement wall is also covered with thick plastic.

With that much insulation in the basement walls the basement is the same temperature as upstairs and the basement air is just as dry as upstairs. A good friend of mine lives in a house on a wood basement that has been there 40 years and is still standing well.
