Weeping tile instalation

On a new build for a house how do you run the weeping tile on the interior of the foundation to a sump pit? There is exterior tile on the exterior of the footings. Do you have to run the tile along the entire inside perimeter as well or do you go straight into the sump pit?

In my two experiences doing waterproofing of basements, the tile runs around the exterior and then enters the sump pit from under the footing at the closest point.
The whole idea of waterproofing is to keep water / moisture out of the building envelope as much as possible.
If there is a lot of water in your area, you local inspection authority may require additional weeping tile on the inside, but I personally have never seen that on any new build I have been on.
