How many overseers and workers and how long did it take to build the Temple of King Solomon?

Completion; At length, in the Autumn of the eleventh year of his reign, seven and a half years after it had been begun, the temple was completed. The Temple remained empty for only eleven months, until the month of Tishri in the year following its completion. Thus the Temple was dedicated at the autumnal new-year festival.[1] Laborers and Oversees; 2 Chronicles 2:2 And Solomon told out threescore and ten thousand men to bear burdens, and fourscore thousand to hew in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred to oversee them. In more modern terms, this means 70,000 burden-bearers (or, as the NIV phrases it, "carriers), 80,000 to quarry ("stonecutters" in the NIV), and 3,600 overseers or foremen. Thus the following statement is correct in terms of the number of people involved, and a footnote in the NIV confirms the dimensions. "Solomon enlists a huge workforce (over 150,000 men) to construct a small chapel. (See 1 Kg.6:2 where the dimensions of the building are given as approximately 90 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 45 feet high.)" If correct, then the laborers and oversees who worked on Solomon"s Temple, with floor area about the size of a tennis doubles court, are twice the number of fans who watched the Superbowl at Dolphin's Stadium in Florida; and it took them seven and a half year to complete. Believe it or not. Seating Capacity at Dolphin Stadium: Football/Soccer: 74,916 Baseball: 47,662 One thing to note, though, is that the temple was significantly more ornate and complex than a simple stadium, due in part to the required separation of areas between the Holy of Holies, the inner court, and the outer court, along with the sacrificial area, various work areas, etc.
