Make a backup of you db and as him to restore it or send him a Script of your db and export your data to a file, send him both, there are a few ways but I guess a backup file would be the most feasable

You theoretically could copy the mdfs and ldfs then re-attach them through EM or script but the problem is that if the db has users, those links might get dropped as the links are via id's and not names.

Also if you worried about space and need to do it more often consider SQL LiteSpeed it got me to shrink our master backup (0.8 TB Database) from 320MB to 82 MB and cut the time in to backup in less then half.
