In the high-risk Massachusetts construction industry, undocumented asset transfers can lead to costly lien disputes and Chapter 93A consumer protection claims. Whether you are liquidating fleet vehicles, selling surplus materials, or transferring heavy machinery to a subcontractor, a specialized Bill of Sale is essential. This document ensures compliance with the Massachusetts Statue of Frauds (M.G.L. ch. 106, § 2-201) for sales over $500, explicitly defining 'As-Is' status and clearing and potential mechanic's liens under M.G.L. ch. 254 before the title passes. Protect your business from the liabilities of workplace injuries or defect claims arising after the transfer with a GC-specific legal framework.
Beyond the standard bill of sale sections, this template adds fields specific to General Contractor:
A Bill of Sale serves the core legal purpose of providing proof of the transfer of ownership of an item from the seller to the buyer. It formalizes the transaction and fulfills the legal need for documentation of the sale, aiding in preventing disputes over ownership and clarifying the terms and conditions agreed upon by the parties involved.
Workplace Injuries
Contracts typically include indemnity clauses and requirements for subcontractors to carry worker's compensation insurance.
Project Delays
Contracts may have penalty clauses (liquidated damages) for delays, as well as force majeure clauses for uncontrollable events.
Lien Disputes
Proper documentation process including lien waivers and affidavits to prevent sub/trades from placing liens on the property.
Building Code Violations
Contracts often specify adherence to all applicable codes and standards, and include terms for inspection and correction of violations.

Yes, under Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 106, § 2-201 (Statute of Frauds), any sale of goods priced at $500 or more must be in writing to be legally enforceable. For general contractors, this ensures that the transfer of high-value items like excavators or trailers is recognized by the state and insurance providers.
By including explicit 'Warranties and Disclaimers' and an 'As-Is' clause, you mitigate risks related to M.G.L. ch. 93A. It provides a clear buyer acknowledgment of the item's condition at the time of sale, which is critical for preventing lawsuits regarding building code violations or equipment defects used on later project sites.
Under M.G.L. ch. 254, liens can complicate ownership. Our Bill of Sale includes a 'Seller’s Representations' clause where the contractor warrants the asset is free from all encumbrances, protecting the buyer and fulfilling the seller's duty to provide a clean title.
