Default Log Home Kits-building on Island

Was curious if anyone had experience with having a log home kit constructed on an island. We own land on Rattlesnake and have picked out a nice log home kit. We went to the log home show in Manchester, NH and talked to many companies. Every one of them said your kit should be 1/3 to 1/2 of your total costs (i.e. at 50K you should spend no more than 100K in total construction cost). We have gotten 2 quotes and the first was 3x the kit price to construct and the second was 5x the kit price to construct. This makes buying and building a log home kit cost prohibitive! And the house would not have a foundation, it would be on piling or concrete footings (so I thought I'd be at the lower end of the range). I was curious if anyone had any experiences and what they have seen for total construction cost on a log home kit. Also does anyone have name and # for someone who they would recommend (that had experience with log home kits) to build a log home kit.
