Discounts for bulk cabinet, kitchen, flooring, etc

I looked at a property yesterday.  It is very..........odd.  Here's the short version.  This property was a "hotel" in the late 1800's.  The original building is the smallest part of what is there now.  Since then, people have added on, put a restaurant in the back and a store front attached.  It has become a maze.  The current owner is a contractor (electrical or mechanical I think), and had big plans to revamp it and convert it.  Currently, it is being run as an illegal boarding house with 4 paying tenants who pay for a room and share a kitchen.  Two of those units have a bathroom and two share a bathroom.  There's is a huge owners unit as well.

Back to my question.  I walked it with my contractor, saw the layout, and immediately saw how we could knock down a few walls, and a few and convert the whole thing  to 9-10 apartments.  It's a pretty big project. I'd be looking at purchasing cabinets, counters, flooring, etc for 9+ units at once.  Will Lowe's/Home Depot offer any other discounts besides the typical contractor one he gets?  Or is something like that only available to those renovating larger complexes, like 20, 50, or 100+ units?
