ᐅ No temporary power distribution box; using electricity from the neighbor

KnöknöI have a question,
We plan to build a solid brick house next year.
Now my question for you:
I would like to save costs on the temporary construction power box. Therefore, I would like to get power from my neighbor (he agrees) until the shell of the building is completed and E.ON can install a meter in my basement.
I would get a temporary power box for free from an electrician.
But now my question: according to the construction company, the crane requires a 32 A connection.
Would it be sufficient if I install a 300mA RCD (residual current device) and a 32 A fuse (Neozed type) at my neighbor’s place, and run a 32 A CEE cable to the covered terrace, where I then connect my temporary power box? Inside the temporary power box, there are six sockets: two 16 A CEE and one 32 A CEE. All circuits are protected by two 30 mA RCDs.
Would the 32 A from the neighbor be enough, or would the neighbor's main fuse keep tripping because the crane draws too much power?
I would appreciate any advice you can give me.

Basically, I would say it is possible. For our house construction, we also connected to an existing building (had it connected by an electrician).

I am a trained electrician, but unfortunately I’m not sure about this. In principle, it should work, but I’m quite uncertain whether 32A will be enough on the construction site (when several things are running, like a crane, lighting, etc.)Not bad either. Ask your supervisor.

@HilfeHilfe Sorry, but which costs for the temporary power box do you want to save if you get it for free? Do you mean the connection or exposing the cable?Well, usually there is a rental fee for a temporary power box. For example, in our case, it was EUR 95.00 per month.
With delivery, connection, dismantling, and pickup, we paid a total of EUR 620.00 for 3.5 months just for the box (so WITHOUT the consumed electricity).
