In most cases, once the location and site have been identified, the temple is announced by the First Presidency to the public, usually in general conference.”“With a site determined, the Presiding Bishopric and Special Projects Department propose designs to the First Presidency. Once approved, construction begins on the temple.”“With a large number of temples under construction “we have some beautiful plans that have been authorized by the First Presidency that we refer to as ‘core plans’ that vary in square footage,”“Because of those core plans, the design time to construct a temple has been shortened from about 18 months down to about six or seven months. And so it’s much faster to get a temple into the construction process, which saves money and time,”Bishop Budge said though the floor plans of some temples are the same, “you wouldn’t know it when you look at the temples. Each temple is unique and different in the exterior and interior finishes. And we construct the temples using a variety of local materials … and architectural themes that are consistent with the culture and the people of the area.”To better serve members in less populated areas, some new temples are being constructed with the flexibility to interchange rooms.“We have what we call flexible plans,” Bishop Caussé said. “This is mostly for our temples with less square footage. … To offer maximum capacity to the members, we have that flexible use of a number of rooms within the temple.
