For our chimney rebuild, the materials were less than 1/4 of the overall price.

We received a wildly different set of estimates, though, as well as different ways each would have gone about the rebuild, so it's definitely worth connecting with a few different masons and checking out their past work.

I found finding the right one more difficult than I would have expected, so good luck!
