When we build a house, we have the electrical meter mounted on a pole part way out the driveway. We then have a temporary panel installed to supply electricity for building the house. You could have a plug installed on the temporary panel for you to plug in to. Have a portable toilet company delivery a jobsite washroom for yourself, and the workers. You could stay on site, provide night security, and watch the house getting built. When the house is completed, you leave the meter on the pole, and run the permanent wire to the house. This way you don't have the meter on the side of your house. If you prefer to have the meter on the house, just leave enough cable to reach the house once completed.
I agree. Check local codes. The contractor would love a free security guard (if you stay out of his way).
