The rules have changed regarding temporary electrical. Now you MUST have a building permit and an electrical permit to put up a temp pole.
If you buy a unpermitted house and the old temp pole fails it's a real ordeal to get power again. You could get "as built" drawings and then get a building permit and electrical permit. Put up a Temp-pole (wood).or Temp permanent (6" galvanized pole) and have power established again. It could take months to re-establish your power. And then there's the Cost.

One Thing I can always be sure of is that things will never go as expected.
