I've put two steel buildings in the past twenty years, a 'quonset' type, and a column type open building that's 50'x100'. The quonset required a footer with a 4"x7" channel that the building was grouted into. The base is about two feet wide, and varies s bit in depth with the down slope, the one end being about a foot deep, and the other end about two feet thick.
The column building has close to two feet of fall in the grade, and rests on foundation pillars which we made from concrete filled sonotubes. The hold down bolts were set in patterns and placed before we poured the sonotubes, and the columns are bolted on top of the pillars.
The quonset wasn't as hard to pour, but had to be formed fairly close before we poured the base. The sonotubes were not hard to work with, but the grade and patterns had to be pretty close for the building to go up correctly and without much extra adjusting.
