You'll be helped along the way by an ATM(Area Technical Manager).

Key tip for successfully using waterproofing concrete:
Always check the mix design. The mix design is really the key recipe of the concrete. In this process you're looking to identify whether the mix design is appropriate for the project. For example: Swimming pools will require a different mix design to a basement wall.
Ensuring your design complies with the relevant british standards (BS8102, the Code of Practice for protection of below ground structures against water from the ground, NHBC Chapter 5.4, and BS 8485, the Code of practice for the design of protective measures for methane and carbon dioxide ground gases for new buildings.) doesn't mean overcomplicating the solution. In fact, keeping the waterproofing system simple, may be the most effective way to ensure the contractor installs it correctly.
Work closely with the engineer and insurance provider to understand their requirements.
Ensure the design is achievable. Have you heard the quote; "I can draw a man holding an elephant up but I can't actually do it". It's absolutely key that the design is achievable to install on site, this requires considering a host of factors.
And to reiterate, ensure the solution is simple AND effective. Getting it complete correctly first time, will be cheaper than rectifying the solution with remedial action.
