About image
IJH Construction was founded with a simple belief: building a home should feel personal.

After more than 25 years managing complex luxury residential and large-scale construction projects, founder Ian Hamer set out to create a different kind of construction company — one rooted in relationships, craftsmanship, communication, and trust.

What began with years of experience building custom homes, luxury townhomes, and multi-family developments evolved into something far more intentional: a boutique construction firm focused on delivering exceptional homes and an exceptional client experience.

Long before IJH Construction existed, San Clemente already felt like home.

Growing up in Florida, Ian spent years traveling to San Clemente for surfing and lifeguard competitions, always drawn to the coastal lifestyle and architecture that make this community so unique. Years later, Ian and his wife Amy made the move with their family to build both a life and a business centered around the place they loved most.

Today, IJH Construction is proudly family-owned and operated, serving homeowners throughout coastal Orange County with a highly personal, detail-driven approach to construction.

We intentionally remain selective with the projects we take on so every client receives direct involvement, communication, and attention throughout the process.


CUSTOM HOMES

Ground-up luxury homes designed and built with precision, transparency, and close collaboration from concept through completion.

LUXURY REMODELS

Whole-home renovations, major additions, kitchens, bathrooms, and transformative remodels tailored to the way your family lives.

CONSTRUCTION CONSULTING

Guidance for homeowners, investors, and projects requiring experienced oversight, problem-solving, and leadership.


Every project we take on is approached with the same commitment to craftsmanship, communication, and thoughtful execution. From custom homes to transformative remodels, our work reflects the relationships we build as much as the spaces we create.


We intentionally approach every project with a focus on communication, craftsmanship, organization, and long-term relationships.


Direct Owner Involvement

Every project is personally overseen by Ian and Amy, ensuring clear communication and accountability from start to finish.

Communication & Transparency

Clear schedules, proactive updates, and ongoing collaboration help create a smoother and more enjoyable construction process.



Thoughtful Craftsmanship

We believe exceptional homes are built through careful planning, quality materials, and attention to the details that shape everyday living.
