Can I build a free standing platform for this condenser to sit on, or does it need to be mounted to the side of a house?

Yes, the ACiQ-24-AC outdoor condenser unit, like most central air conditioning condensers, is typically designed to be free-standing, resting on a level, firm foundation like a concrete slab, specialized pad, or an elevated stand, and does not need to be mounted to the side of a house.
