Macerator pipe run
could you pipe from the loo- boxed in- accross to directly under your soil and then go straight up? Saniflow might need dug into the screed a bit to get a fall to it.

5mm acrylic lucite vs steel for baths
Aren't all acrylic baths backed with glassfibre? Our 20yo cleapy corner bath does. Another vote for Trojan here, I paid the few quid extra for the Trojancast upgrade and it makes for a very solid-feeling bath.

10 hour working day
You get all sorts. the guy that did our groundworks works consistently 8-3. Works like a trojan, god help you if you get in his way. The Eastern European fellas that did our insulation worked two jobs, 8am-9pm every day. I do about 5h the average day (plus paperwork), but some days will be on the go for 17-18h, mostly driving but all chargeable.

Two breather membranes on roof?
I think they're saying the roof is ready to be battened and to get a move on as there's nothing much holding the felt down?

Tilt and Turn Blinds
I must admit I'm drawn to the Day-and-Night striped roller blinds (as SWMBO detests venetians) and they'd be pretty handy in Perfect Fit form for the french doors.

UFH - Multiple Floors - Single Manifold & Pump?
I've one upstairs loop running from the GF manifold. I've a Tee at FF level on both flow and return with an autobleeder a few feet above on each. Flows fine, bleeds fine.

Rules on LPG cylinder positioning?
Yellow Calor butane cylinders are still very popular round these parts

Rules on LPG cylinder positioning?
regulator size is one issue, but flow rate at low temps with Butane is a known problem. Not so much Butane used any more tho...

When do G3 regulations apply? Buffer tanks?
250 bar litres, IIRC.

When do G3 regulations apply? Buffer tanks?
I'd have to say no, not G3 *but* still requires a safety valve as it's still a stored-volume pressure vessel even if the supply temperature is controlled externally and failsafe. /just like a radiator on a sealed system. The pressure/volume may make it a "pressure vessel" but the rest of the system has redundant controls for temperature and the safety valve is the failsafe for the expansion vessel's pressure control.
