What kind of help?
How you expect to design a structure when you are (self admitadly) unqualified is a bit odd...
Ask a specific question and you may get an answer...
Most steel buildings are designed with computer programs that compute the loads, and other requirements, using inputs based on location, style, materials, and codes. It is *not* a trivial task.

Is this to be an insulated structure? There are many details to consider or serious issues can occur. If it is in a cold climatte the conductivity of the metal framing can cause dark spots and even condensation and mold. The average R-value is also very low.
And yes what type of structure will it be?
