How to waterproof a house/patio wall?

We are currently working on a terrace (construction). The house is still standing. The floor slab was built on a layer of gravel, and the sides of the floor slab were properly insulated. Now we have chosen patio doors, which should provide a transition to the terrace at ground level. The terrace must also be built on a layer of gravel. This raises the question of what a reasonable waterproofing system should look like.

We apply a pitted membrane in front of the existing floor slab insulation to protect the insulation. In addition, we implement a slope of <5%). What else needs to be done besides this? The exterior plaster has not been applied yet. So we still have all the options.

One of the most damaging parts of building a house. You can find possible reasonable designs online under the term "baseboard reference."

I assume the following:

1.) half of the red Styrodur is applied over the plaster.

2.) Then a waterproofing solution is applied on top of the plaster

3.) At the place where the plaster will be laid, a roofing felt is applied to the masonry, which is cut off flush with the plaster from above.

4.) Where there is no paving or only earth/gravel, it is only backfilled.
