As a Tennessee general contractor, your equipment and materials represent significant capital. Whether you are selling surplus heavy machinery or transferring ownership of building materials, a formal Bill of Sale is essential for financial record-keeping and liability protection. Under Tenn. Code Ann. § 29-2-101 (Statute of Frauds), clear written documentation is required for many high-value transfers. This document ensures you mitigate risks like lien disputes and structural integrity claims by clearly defining 'as-is' conditions, purchase prices, and governing law within the Tennessee jurisdiction, including compliance with the Tennessee Home Improvement Act and licensing standards set by the Board for Licensing Contractors.
Beyond the standard bill of sale sections, this template adds fields specific to General Contractor:

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.
