If you still haven't completed the building, the best way to waterproof small sites, is to plaster outside like sump walls, after a day, start filling soil back.
If in case, it is an existing building and can't dig out soil, nothing much can be done apart from injection technique. refer link below

Another idea is to provide drain pipe for retaining wall, either back fill or inside. Usually inside is possible in residential areas.
Thanks,
Bharath

Proofex Engage is supplied with a selvedge on one side to provide sealed laps.Proofex Engage membranes are loose laid over compacted soil or secured vertically against formwork or diaphragm walls before the concrete is poured. Comprised a tough, durable HDPE film of 4 to 5mm thick Proofex Engage can be installed quickly and is ready for immediate placing of rebar and concrete without further protection.
