Basement Waterproofing Costs

I’m currently in the midst of renovating a property in East Nashville and one of the top priorities is waterproofing the basement. What is the typical process for waterproofing?

What should I make sure my contractor does/does not? What are typical costs for this? Timeline?

Thanks in advanced for any and all feedback!

Thanks @Luka Milicevic - I've had a couple of companies that specialize in basement/foundation repair - Frontier Basement Systems, USS and R1 of Middle TN. 

Update @Daniella Sanchez - we just had a structural engineer come out and give us an idea of what work is required, the wall that I need fixed in the basement is bulging out about 3 inches so it either needs a couple of steal beams set up so that it doesn't keep moving OR replace the wall entirely...

The bids I'd gotten were mainly for water proofing the basement.. sealing cracks, installing pipes to channel the water elsewhere, etc. Waiting to hear from the SE to get a scope of work and share with the contractors.. I'll update once that happens. 

Thanks again!
