There's more to building an energy efficient house than insulation amount but you are correct to keep all your insulation in the one place. Ensure that thermal bridges are minimised / eliminated. Have you considered block on flat with external wall insulation (ewi)?

If you are not aware of the effect that (lack of) airtightness has then research this as it is as important as insulation.
Don't forget about appropriate ventilation either.

your OP states "90mm future proof windows with insulation in the frames" - what are these?

'thermally broken' window frames..
There is no need for a link to that product.
