The statute states “a person to whom a debt is due for personal labor performed in the erection, alteration, repair or removal of a building or structure upon land or improvement or alteration to real property, by virtue of an agreement or by consent of the owner of such building or structure or of a person having authority from or rightfully acting for such owner …” See. M.G.L. c. 254 § 1
Essentially anyone who performs a service for the improvement of real property by an agreement with owner of the property can file a mechanics lien. The below analysis focuses on the direct contractor but a subcontractor or a supplier can file a mechanics lien as well.
