Lavbygg
Quite a few references on Google - but I still wouldn't use it about parks and parking lots.

In a letter of recommendation, to say a person has worked on a number of building projects, among which low-rise construction projects, you would normally say "NN har arbeidet med et antall byggeprosjekter, inkludert lavbygg og offentlige anlegg". Anlegg is a handy word to cover everything from parking lots to water parks and public facilities.

lave byggverk
I Forskrift om krav til byggverk og produkter til byggverk (TEK), har man oversatt "lave byggverk" med "low rise construction works". Dette er en bra oversetting, etter min mening (bortsett fra at jeg ville skrevet "low-rise").
