After creating topo surface, I need to punch a hole for my foundation to look correct in some perspective shots. Is this what "pad" is for or is there another prescribed method??

You can create the topo surface. Click on split surface, draw the outline of what you want to cut out. And then ok it. And then add another surface or create your foundation from there.
hope that helps

The Pad Command works really well.

Yes, the pad will outline the building for you and then you can just turn if off the perspective, so all you'll see is the dirt.
Also, you can use the Graded Region from the Site tools. The original topo needs to be in the previous phase and it demos that surface and creates a duplicate in your current phase. When selecting the surface, be sure the "copy internal points" check box is marked and then you can alter the topo points at the foundation area.
These are very rough since I'm still working on them, but here are 2 jpgs - one showing site work and then next showing digging out the side of the hill to start foundations.
Hope this helps.

Will 9000 -
I actually exported the items from ArchiCAD as dwgs, then made them Revit families. The only problem is that the coloring doesn't import correctly, and when rendered, they reder in solid grey. I'm working on that now.
Actually, all the objects on that drawing were from ArchiCAD. By JCB are you referring to the Pile Driver or the backhoe? I have a slew of other objects as well, that I got by the same method. I may have a tractor I can upload if it will save you some time. What sort of tractor?

I've been a Revit user since v. 1.0, so my models are done completely in Revit. ArchiCAD does still have a better library of elements, so I use that only to export what I'm missing.
