Quite possibly you have excessive runoff off the porch roof/main roof
intersection.  Also quite possible they didn't do a good job of backfill
under the porch so there's a hole there that's letting water against the
wall.  Also possible the porch was poured before the wall was
waterproofed or the drain tile doesn't go all the way across...there are
a zillion shortcuts the builder/subcontractor <could> have
taken--there's no way to tell from here.  But, it's his responsibility
to fix whatever the problem is.
