+1. If this is new construction, install a proper perimeter drain around the foundation, and use a rubberized coating on the outside, typically sprayed on. For added security you could also use a membrane like this:
SUPERSEAL Dimpled Membrane - the best basement waterproofing method
Edit: Re-read your original post. Are you saying that the walls are going to be built on the basement floor? That is not how it is done around here. We pour a footing, build the walls, then pour the slab after the walls are up. If they are building the walls on top of the floor, how are they tied together? Rebar?
Can you post a picture?
