My question is what do people do when the build wood that is going to
sit on concrete to remedy the problem? Any specific materials or
techniques?

Shape the concrete so that it does not form a pool, provide hight
points for the wood to rest on, think where the water will go when
(not "if", it *will* get in) it gets in and provide drainage.
