My main question has to do with the toilet and the main drain. You will see in the picture the preferred toilet placement is directly inside the foundation and right next to the main line. The fittings are there as a reference for the main sewer line and toilet line. I wont be doing it myself just need to see if it is a possible location. The picture show the clean out line as well. I believe there is enough room to have it just run the sewer line but I need to keep a clean out and need to a back flow preventer unless they can be combined into one. the main line is roughly 12in below the grave and clay. 15yr old house not studded for a basement bath. trying to fix that.

i'm not sure of your question?
you have many, many possibilities here.
you can tie into the riser for the cleanout as long as you leave the cleanout available. or you can dig down 12" and tie into the main drain.
you will need to vent this bathroom as well.
one good thing is that you were wise to ask BEFORE assembling and gluing things together.

1. You say you won't be doing the work yourself, but WHO will do it? If that person is a plumber why are YOU laying it out and why did you buy those fittings? My customers just tell me what they want done, and I decide if it is possible, and how to do it. Then I procure the necessary fittings and install them.
2. I cannot imagine ANY 15 year old house having red clay pipes under the floor. That has not been done since about the 1930s.
3. Call your plumber. Tell him where you would like to install the fixtures, then let him do his work. All you have to do is pay him.

My true question is if I can fit a toilet in the area. My plumber doesn't do this full time as we work for a FD. So I was trying to game plan before we started the work trying to make it easier.

MOst good plumbers can figure out the piping to put a toilet almost anywhere you want it. Ah, another plumber with a "full time job at a fire department". In other words, a handyman.
