My advice would be to build a good well house, big free as possible, and insulate.

Always neat to see the water coming up from the ground and your wellhouse looks very nice. I would recommend you get a ram bit, for the size pvc you used in the piping. They can be a real lifesaver with pipe through a poured floor. We found out this year how convenient they are. I'm always impressed by the workmanship you all show, lots of great builders and craftsmen on here for sure. https://www.plumbingsupply.com/rambit-plastic-fitting-saver-tool.html

I filled the all the holes with the pipes that might have to be dug up with pea gravel with a 2” clay cap. Then built a dam filled with pea gravel around all the pipes before I poured the slab. This hopefully will accommodate shifting soils and any future necessary repairs. I also have the two center pipes on the manifold capped under the slab for future lines.

Looks great Jes. Might want some gutters on the roof to reduce ponding and erosion around the slab. That will help with preventing movement too.

I noticed you took good precautions in case of issues. The well house spouse was working in did not, hence a plumber and the ram bit. Looks great !
