From your explanation,I believe the building is lower in level from the road level and as such water will always find his way to the lowest level . there are two ways to resolve this issue
- Create a drainage along the main road level to catch the rain-flow coming from the road, ensure it is at least 900mm in depth
- secondly create another drainage close to the entrance and divert the rain water away from the building with perimeter drainage.this will prevent water from entering into the building as a catchment has been provided .
you too can feel free and ask your questions that you need more clarification on ,you can
