About us

More than anything, we believe in the power of collaboration in architectural practice. So much so, we’ve built a business around it. We support top tier architectural firms, corporate businesses and building professionals to make sure projects are meticulously documented and delivered to the highest standards.

Alternative delivery options for your next architectural project

Founded by seasoned industry professional Greg Blanch in 2003, DETAIL 3 is driven by a desire to be the best in the field, offer excellent service and mitigate project risk. Unlike traditional firms, our business is different, split into three main services: CONSULT, HIRE and DRAW. This allows us to be flexible in our approach with clients and craft bespoke methodologies, ones that both fit the project and innovate on service delivery.

Powered by a team of industry experts who are passionate about what they do, we track trends and are always iterating to improve, building new skills and knowledge to bring to every project. We’ve been lucky enough to be involved in many award-winning projects over the years and that’s why we’re in high demand with architecture firms, developers and builders alike.

Based in a heritage warehouse building in the vibrant heart of Collingwood, we’re proud to offer architectural consultation, specialised staff on secondment and thorough, detail-oriented documentation support to each corner of the industry. For us, it’s not just about the end product, it’s about the positive experience we create for everyone we encounter.
