Excellent suggestion. As it is not at all limited to construction, it can be for fund an exposition, a faire, or even for the construction of a meeting place. |

rural allowance
The political motivation for the introduction of the "bygdepeng" may have been idealistic and honourable, but the "bygdepeng" is today a spin doctor's tool in the fight between local authorities and the windmill mafia, and rarely, if ever, used as was originally intended. The author of my 1st reference is not wrong when equalling the "bygdepeng" to a "construction fee".

Good suggestion! |
Discussion
However I don't think there is one -- It is a made-up term that has a special meaning, beyond the words of the term.
