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

I 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.

Yes, I would like to know if 32 amps are enough to operate the crane and a few other devices.
Yes, I want to avoid the cost of having an additional meter cabinet installed on the construction site by EON. It shouldn’t be necessary for them to set up a separate power connection.

Why from E.On? At our site, the electrician provides the temporary construction power box. Are you required to use a construction power box from E.On? I am not familiar with that. The construction power box includes a meter, which is normally read and billed by the energy supplier at the end. Everything else was handled by the electrician.
Yes, but the power cable that is currently buried underground without a connection still needs to be connected to a temporary power distribution box, and as far as I know, a construction company comes by to uncover the cable, then someone from the utility company installs a meter box, and the electrician has to connect a temporary power distribution box to that. And I want to avoid those costs. I don't know the exact price at the moment, but it certainly won't be low.

Bernd991216 Dec 2014 21:39I think the OP wants to avoid the utility connection pillar. Later, run the cable directly into the house.
In our case, the utility connection point cost about 300 euros.
