foundation level
Questa traduzione mi sembra la migliore perché le altre - "building land" e "ground of the foundation" - sono più attinenti al campo dell'ingegneria civile e all'edilizia.
Tra l'altro è consigliata da Meinck-Moehle.

(building/foundations) grounds
After agreeing with "foundation soils", I realized that this is more used in chemical/geological contexts than in buildings construction.
As far as I know, just "grounds" is normally used in English for "terreni di fondazione", since "di fondazione" simply means "where buildings' foundations will be/have been built".
However you can certainly add a specifying word, to enhance precision of understanding.

foundation strata
e.g.
"For storage schemes where dam structures are built to impound water the solid and superficial geology of the strata which will support the dam is a crucial factor. *Foundation strata* can vary from bedrock to gravel, sand, clay or non-uniformity and dictate to a large degree whether dam construction is feasible and if so what particular type. The most important geological considerations include:
static and dynamic strength of foundation material;
static and dynamic deformation or consolidation/compressibility characteristics of the foundation material;
depth of favourable foundation material;
hydraulic conductivity and piping potential."
