That depends on which temple you are talking about. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" Church) currently has 130 operating temples worldwide, with 8 under construction, and 13 more announced, along with one which is no longer owned by the Church.
The Temple that took the longest to build was the Salt Lake Temple in Salt Lake City, Utah. Construction on this temple began on February 14, 1853 and was completed on April 6, 1893. It took just over 40 years to complete!
Many of the smaller temples built between 1997 and 2001 took less than a year to build.
Most temples take about 2 to 3 years to build.

Solomon's Temple is regarded as the first temple of the Judaic faith, built by King Solomon himself.

What was the total quantity of the gold and silver that was use to decorate King Solomons Temple?
Construction According to 1 Chronicles 22:14, David had bequeathed to Solomon an accumulated wealth of 100,000 talents of gold and 1,000,000 talents of silver as financial resources towards the construction of the temple. He also gave him plans for many parts of the Temple and the articles used in it. (1 Chronicles 28:11-19) The construction of the Temple is described in the Book of Kings: The preparatory undertakings for the construction took about three years. David provides Solomon with a fantastically large amount of gold and silver with which to build the temple: 100,000 talents of gold and 1,000,000 talents of silver. Since a talent was about 34 kilograms, this would be 3.4 million kg of gold -- or about 120 million ounces, which nearly as much as is currently in the United States depository in Fort Knox. Not bad for a small tribe in 1000 There were 2,000,000 Hebrews in 1450 B.C.E. during the Exodus and many more during the days of Solomon in 950 B.C.E. 34Kilos per talent is only speculative at best as one king in the the middle east wore a crown of gold weighing 1 talent - surely not 34 Kilos in weight.
