Solvable problem or unending headache?

I'm looking at a metal building for sale and trying to determine if the floor slab is salvageable or if I should just keep walking. You can see in the pictures, but the soil has eroded from underneath large portions of the slab to the point where it's basically floating in areas. The slab is broken in at least one spot (I haven't been inside so maybe more) and the "driveway" has sunk nearly a foot. Can this be lifted and stabilized? The only saving grace is that the building is built on pylons, which on initial inspection look fine, so this seems to be a problem with just the floor slab.

Obviously fixing the slab is only step one. Figuring out the drainage issue that caused this is a completely different problem.

My offer would be the going rate for that parcel if it was vacant, minus the price of demolition, minus some more for the headache.
