A belated defence of architects- we certainly don't all think like that and
it always depresses me to hear that there are any architects that do!
Hope the other responses have answered your query about boards. In our case,
we buy our own RIBA registered practice boards and put in the construction
contract that the contractor must provide space for all consultants to
display their boards- we don't specify which consultants. It is then up to
the consultants themselves to provide their own sign boards. If I were you,
you I would get some boards made up and insist on being able to display it
alongside the other consultants!
Best wishes
