6 inch roof insulation ...
What about some reflective insulation under the tiles, vent the roof space and go with the suggested 3 inch insulation.
IMHO ... far more effective.
Vent the roof space is cheap and easy to do ... I don't see any on your roof profile.
I don't see any heat reflective foil there.
Roof Sarking as a heat reflective foil barrier is a great preventative measure.
Is there any eves venting?
If you are having a gyprock/drywall ceiling (as opposed to a suspended tile ceiling), any roof leaks puddle in the ceiling and the more insulation you have, the more sponge you have. The ceiling eventually sags and, in extreme cases actually drops.
How you have done it seems more like a house designed to insulate against cold weather, rather then hot weather.
IMHO
Have enjoyed the effort to show us the house build and it does look good ... well done.
