The home will be inspected during the construction process. The roof, walls must be attached to the foundation/footing/slab. Per code, the house will not be built on ground level. You will need fill. Remember that companies making the kits will be probably be from out of state and transport costs will be very expensive.
There are log home builders in Florida. Just not sure if there are any that far South. We have several that have been in Brevard county and no worse for wear after the hurricanes than block homes.

So much misinformation on this board.
Call Goodwin Heart Pine in Micanopy for the best logs and they could refer you to some builder's as well.
