Are you talking about metal or steal building like warehouses or garages turned into a home or steel framed homes? Either way I found some sites and posted the links below. Hope they help.

Simply based on the dimensions of the metal building, there's really no way to determine how much it would cost to convert it into a home because there are so many factors to consider such as architectural fees, fees for the contractor (if you plan to have anything built), permitting fees (you need a permit if you're going to build pretty much anything-especially anything that's going to be used as a home. There's also many other fees that I can't really remember right now. However, what I do know is that each of the expenses I listed above can vary depending on the company you use, and the city you live in (for the permitting fees).
I don't know much about home building, but I do know that the costs can add up, and that obtaining permits can be a major headache, even when you use a permitting service. I'm not saying that it can't be done though. In fact, I think it's a cool idea.
Hope I helped a little, and good luck with this.

You can as long as you pay close attension to a couple of things: 1) Make sure the section of flue pipe youo pull the heat from is a solid section so there is no way to pull flue gasses into your house 2.) Connect to the return duct on your existing furnace and use your furnace fan to provide the movement of the warmed air. This will dilute the warming effect, but should be better overall. 3.) Watch out you don't cool your flue gasses off too much and mess up the natural draft of your wood stove. 4.) Insulate your ductwork from the wood stove to the heating system to maxamize heat.

Check with your local building department to find out what the requirements are for a structure to be used as a home. You might find it to be a lot more hassle to make something "liveable" than to just find a regular house in a cheap neighborhood and work up to nicer homes with time and improvements.

If you are planning to start on your woodworking project, this isn't something you should use, it's something that you would be insane not to. Go here https://tr.im/dkCUn
Truth is, I've been a carpenter for almost 36 years, and I haven't found anything like this for less than 10's of thousands of dollars.
