Heading: Allocation of Costs of Services and Materials

Text: The defendants produced no evidence tending to show that any out-of-state contractors were used to assist in the construction of Morris's condominium unit. While Barry Ross's affidavit stated that it was his understanding that a substantial amount of the building materials used in the construction of the project made the subject of this suit were transported from locations outside the state of Alabama, as was the case in Sisters of the Visitation, the record provides no information from which we can determine what portion of the amount the [defendants may have] paid [to any out-of-state contractors] is allocable to the cost of local labor and overhead. 775 So.2d at 766. Likewise, the defendants have presented no evidence of the allocation of out-of-state materials as compared to in-state materials used in the construction of Morris's condominium unit. Thus, [the defendants] have not presented sufficient evidence to justify the conclusion that [the agreement evidences a transaction that] substantially affects interstate commerce by reason of a dependence upon materials and services moving in interstate commerce. 775 So.2d at 766.
