Our Company

Nationwide connections and extensive experience within a variety of construction sectors allow JIA to assist you with any project you envisage — with none being too large or small — from large-scale development to dream holiday home, additions and renovations to your picturesque country cabin, to the construction of a stylish front porch.

Being raised as a part of both cultures, I have a firm understanding of both Western and Japanese mindsets and the benefits of creating a common ground between the two. I strive to attain this balance through all stages of my projects — from project planning to realization: a perfect collaboration of Japanese proficiency and Western creativity.

The combination of quality and excellence creates a truly beautiful result – and it is this attention to detail and genuine pursuit of beauty which truly sets JIA apart. We hold a firm belief that every building experience should not only be enlightening, but cultivate trust and comradery between all involved.

We will spare no effort in providing an expert level of advice and guidance – ensuring that you achieve both your desired result, and have a fulfilling and memorable experience while doing so. JIA also offers property and building assessment services to assist you with purchasing quality assets that you know can be developed, are operational, and are worth your while.

Gabriel Ohno, Chief Executive Officer

JIA CEO Gabriel Ohno is a qualified and fully bilingual Japanese/American builder with construction experience spanning over two decades. He began his career over 15 years ago in Niigata Prefecture, with a traditional Japanese building company specializing in artisanry and fine finishes. “Attention to detail in every aspect of a construction process” was a frequently reiterated mindset amongst the ranks.

Boasting high levels of speed and accuracy in comparison to competitors, the company was affiliated with public development companies on the main island of Japan, and has been involved with the construction and management of large scale projects such as National Park infrastructure. A large number of civic and private projects were also completed during this time, which included equipment, recreational facilities, schools, museums, and hotel renovations & restorations; along with ship fit outs & repairs, bridge and dam restoration, and a variety of Western and Japanese-style homes, restaurant fit outs, and galleries.
