Hi, 
Wear excellent expensive outfit (business) with chauffer driven car and a
secretary right in to the company, and try show as if u are bigshot VC and
want to meet CEO or any other important person, or may be u can
impersonate spot audit check from ISO if ISO certified or any other
regulatory firm, 
See if they are allowing u in. 
Goal is to bypass all their physical security measures and get inside the
facility.
2 Cents.
Regards, 
Vijay

Okay,I've been contacted about pentesting physical security system for 
a  medium size company that is integrating IT & physical 
security,ie;cameras,id gates,etc.
I'm not exactly sure where to start,other than the 
obvious;passwords,permissions,etc.

Maybe some clue here:
