Workmen cut all the rocks into shape at the ⌊open-pit⌋ mines, ⌊not at the temple site⌋.

6:7b so that no hammer or chisel or any other iron tool was heard in the temple

⌊As a result⌋ no one heard workmen using a hammer, chisel or other metal tool at the worksite.
-or-
So at the place where they built the temple there was no noise of hammer, pick, or other metal tools.

6:7c while it was being built.

This happened for the entire time they were building ⌊the temple⌋.

6:7a-c (reordered)

While they built the temple, they did not use iron/metallic tools like chisels or hammers. The workmen cut and shaped the rocks at the quarry. As a result, the workers at the temple made little noise as they worked.
