Kitchen Fitting

Do design&builder's get trade discounts on premium white goods?

I'm in the process of buying a place which I want to fully renovate. I don't have an endless budget, so am trying to be careful in what I ask for to make sure it is achievable. A big portion of my budget is taken up by specific premium white goods I want to buy (Miele/similar fridge, washer, dryer, oven, and so forth). Similarly with non kitchen stuff (whirlpool bath for example). What I'd like to understand is, do builders get meaningful discounts off retail price for these items? ie can I assume they will be making a profit simply by ordering and fitting them on my behalf? Otherwise, they're simply a genuine cost and I'll know the guys have to find their profit from other parts of my budget.
