Tendering for construction projects is a complex activity that requires an extensive exchange of important information. In addition to project drawings, the tender documentation includes a number of additional documents, conditions, contracts and other requisites that define the contents and scope of the project. This article aims to analyse the method of tendering for a private investor’s multifunctional building project and proposes a variant of a solution employing a different method. Specifically, the methods are Design-Build (DB) and Design-Bid-Build (DBB). The article focuses exclusively on the preparation and the project tendering itself. It does not cover profitability calculations at the pre-investment stage or construction management after the construction contract is signed. The results show noticeable differences between the aforementioned methods. In particular, there are significant differences in terms of the time necessary to prepare the project documentation. The DB method would be more efficient and economical in this respect. Nevertheless, the investor opted for the DBB method in view of potential modifications required by clients and probably also due to a degree of distrust of the DB method, with which it had no prior experience
