Generally Speaking, Basement construction with watertable problems includes:
1) Diaghram Wall with high-strenght waterproofed concrete
2) Cavity Wall with sump-pit for drain out the water at basement (mostly recommended)and the construction should be carried out stage by stage
Sequence (Diaghram Wall)
1) Setup dewatering instruments around the basement
2) Start excavation to required depth
3) Install Diaghram Wall
