I calculated the weight of my room would be around 4000kg including frame, walls, ceiling construction.
Yes, that sounds about right.

No one has mentioned it, but be sure not to 'short' out the 2 walls by allowing the figid insulation to be smashed between the two, coupling the walls - or with wiring or any other such thing.

Why so much isolation? Do you have traffic or neighbor problems?
