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.

First of all, happy New Year to everyone,
thank you for your contribution,
So,
I know my neighbor very well, so there is no issue.
In the main distribution board there is a 63 A (63 ampere) breaker (for whatever reason).
My supply line:
There is a 9-meter (30 feet) cable with a 63 A CEE connector, and to the temporary power distribution box there is an NYY-J 5x16 cable with a plug. This way I can plug it in again at the house and can disconnect the connection at any time.
I want to protect it now with a 50 A (50 ampere) breaker at the temporary power distribution box.
I am also planning to install a 300 mA RCD (residual-current device) between the supply and the temporary power distribution box as an additional safety measure, since the cable has already been exposed outdoors for some time.
