Why this comes up in Fairview
Lake-plain soils with creek corridors running north to the lake, and a bluff line along the shore that shapes what can be built near the water. That's the ground any builder working in Fairview is dealing with.
Larger residential lots and rural-residential parcels, with farm ground and orchards through the southern and western parts of the township.

The usual approach
Rot happens where the post meets the ground. The fix is usually cutting the post above the damage and splicing to a new base — a steel bracket on a concrete footing, or a precast concrete stub — done one post at a time with the wall temporarily carried. Catch it early and the building is fine; ignore it and the repair becomes a rebuild.
What your project actually costs can only be settled by a registered builder who sees the site. Footprint, sidewall height, doors, finish level and ground conditions all move it.
A builder who works Fairview Township regularly will already know how this ground behaves.
