You might be able to access recent building permits to see some structures that might be similar to what you need.
Most of those people would probably be happy to talk with you about your project.
Heated floor sounds like a good idea.

I agree with vertical walls and bolt together. I used pipe for my uprights and had to weld all purlins. That takes a lot of time. They make a thin sheet of insulation that seems to be pretty good. I was in the shop just this weekend and could not here the rain hitting the metal roof. This insulation goes on with tape just before the metal. it looks like bubble wrap with foil on each side. If it is not enough there is still room to blow in some more.
Can you put a basement in going down instead of up and keep the same height.
I would never want a steel building or a concrete floor. The walls will act like a freezer wall in the winter and radiate the cold and the same with a concrete floor along with being harder to work on all day. You would want some type of spray insulation on a wood building that wouldn't absorb the cold and heat like metal.

Have you considered structural insulated panels? My SIP wall panels have 3 1/2" foam and the roof has 5 1/2". If you are going to need to frame interior walls, what's the advantage of the steel?
