The white sheets are blindside waterproofing membrane, and the black spots are likely roller-applied bitumen or a similar type material to seal over the locations where they fastened/tied the waterproofing sheets back. Blindside waterproofing is used when it isn't possible to excavate beyond the perimeter wall, either because it is a zero-lot line situation (site or property boundary borders an existing foundation wall/site, street etc.) or where they cannot gain access to excavate.
