I was trying to let them down gently! :p

Waterproofing structures like this is perfectly possible but meticulous planning, detailing and attention during the build is essential to avoid mistakes. Suggest you do a section detail through the wall/floor to show us how you plan on building/waterproofing it and post it on here for comments...
