Hello,
We have Drupal project leads coming in and also referrals to build mid to large scale Drupal projects - many with lots of bells and whistles, multiple content displays, and some leaning on the social side of things. Our company also markets ourself for Drupal based projects online so we are always receiving good leads (6 this week already at my last count).
Right now we are in the early phase of discussing the project details for several larger Drupal projects - one in the $20k+ and another in the $60k+ range - but our background and expertise isn't so much "large" Drupal dev. projects, i.e. xml integration, building social networks using Drupal, heavily customizing modules or building our own for clients. Typically we stick to the $5-10k shorter duration projects with some custom enhancements, theming, etc.
So, what it comes down to is that we realize that we are in need of a reliable Drupal development company to outsource some of these larger Drupal projects so that we can focus on our core business - Internet marketing. We are perfectly fine with doing so as long as we have adequate margins in the project/referral.
NOTE: The average pay per hour would typically range between $50-70/hr. We can negotiate per project scope, overall project length, and of course your company's experience with Drupal.
