Please examine the church book entry for marriage of Magnus Kristoffer Nilsen Nesse and Kari Nilsen Seim, married 16 Dec 1921 in Nykirken, Bergen. I would like an interpretation of the entry for the groom's occupation and place of residence.

I read Bygningstekniker, Fjøsanger. Fjøsanger is a part of Bergen a few kilometers to the south of central Bergen. Bygningstekniker translates literally to building technician. I don't know exactly what it signified a hundred years ago, but to today there are specific educations for it, giving you some technical competence to oversee construction work. Maybe you can google-translate this:
