Start with the utility first. They are the one that reads the meter notes an installation not to their standard and chops power and red tags the meter. The consult a qualified, electrician who has a business license.
Temporary Service Drops have strict rules that are interpreted by your utility company not an electrician. Wouldn't it be just dandy to get the job all finished and paid for then have the utility show up and declare "Not Permitted!" Meter Reg Tags and disconnects will ruin a person's day.
Remember, a licensed electrician must operate by the rules. That includes sending a copy of the report to the utility and if applicable to the city or county code enforcement entity.
