Barring purchases that reach to the extreme, ie: a wolf range in the kitchen or fixture choices that can run as high as you are willing to pay... labour and materials on a project of any reasonable size, are about equal. Smaller, specific jobs can run more to one side or the other, but this is a general rule that works in most cases. 50/50
