There is usually a clause in the contract specification requiring the
building contractor to provide space for all consultants to put up
their name boards, so I guess that it is up to the access consultant to
get boards made up, as all the other consultants on building projects
do. Signs are usually in pvc and are a standard size, 4' x 1' for shy
and retiring access consultants and 8' x 2' for brash self publicists.
We use Abacus signs,
