If I do 3 sets, 2 normal sets 1 heavy set would this build both muscle and strength?
lets say on the big compound lifts I do 3 sets,
Set 1: 10 reps @ 65% 1RM
Set 2: 8 reps @ 70% 1RM
Set 3: 5 reps @ 80–85% 1RM
Would this be good for both strength and muscle building?

Yes. As are multiple other different rep and intensity ranges.
If you are interested in training with variable rep ranges, a good information resource to start with is Jim Wendler's 5-3-1.
