Do you do temp power inspections and if so will you allow the electrician to use the service panel for the temp power?

Thanks, I had the typical "but you are the only city that doesn't allow it". I was concerned about how stable it would be on schedule 80 and how could I inspect the feeder and ground when the sub panel was installed and rough electrical complete when the meter is already set.
We require a permit for temp power. That is never the service panel. I did see a piggyback arrangement years ago. I don't recall the details but I think it wasn't UL listed so I had to turn it down.
Something that is occasionally overlooked on commercial sites is the AIC rating. 10,000 amp breakers may not be good enough.

We do temp power sets......not using the panel in the structure. Often we come back to find on rough-in the house panel has been energized via the temp set.........
