I was always told that you either stay above the frost or go below, but dont mix. Which sounds like what you will do. Post in ground below frost, floor on floating pad above frost. So walls and floor could rise and fall differently. Can really mess up doors, etc. Maybe take a look at the way a bunker silo is built. The sight is prepared and a concrete footing 3 foot by 2 foot poured the length of the structure with rebar going horizontally and sticking vertically above the footing also. Then additional rebar is wired on to vertical pieces and sides formed and poured. If you built a 4 foot side wall from concrete, you could simply build a 12 foot stud frame wall on top of the poured concrete wall. With the floor poured between the footing before side wall construction began, you would have an excellent place to build wall sections before erecting them. And the four foot of concrete wall would be fire resistant if doing welding inside the completed building. You also would only need to side or line 12 foot of exterior and interior walls. The entire building is built above frost and no worries about rotting wood. Just a consideration
