Pour a standard 4" slab. Get 4 precast concrete deck anchor blocks. Drill 4
holes in alignment with the anchor holes in your genny's bottom/frame. Use
threaded anchors to mount about 1 foot lengths of 1/2" or 5/8" threaded rod.
Fit the four blocks over the threaded rods and mortar the blocks to the slab
and fill the center hole in the blocks around the threaded rods with morter.
Set your genny on top of the blocks with the threaded rods through the
mounting holes in the bottom of the genny and tighten into place with some
washers and nuts. This will provide an air space under the genny to keep it
dry reducing corrosion, help it cool with in operation and high enough to
prevent minor flooding from touching it. I did a similar installation in my
garage for a diesel generator.

You guessed it. Its a Generac 15kW unit and it will be a perminant
addition to the house and won't move.

I thought about a wood solution but I don't like the idea of hot generator
on wood. Wood rot and termites are also issues to deal with.

Tell me about building a block foundation?
