Basically, using a Fullblade (http://www.realmshelps.net/cgi-bin/weapons.pl?all) as a baseline, and upping the damage and making it effective against constructs, while making it expensive and adding an AC penalty/minimum strength score to balance it.

Exotic Two-Handed Weapon

Only the greatest and strongest of warriors may dare to wield a Heavy Greathammer in battle. The haft of these hammers stretches to the full height of their wielder, and the entire weapon is made entirely of metal. Due to the cumbersome length and weight of the hammer, anyone wielding a Heavy Greathammer takes a -1 AC penalty.
The head of these hammers is so heavy that ordinary steel hafts will bend under the stress of gravity; therefore, all Heavy Greathammers must be crafted from a special material such as Adamantine (not included in the price). In addition, to wield a Heavy Greathammer effectively in battle, the wielder must meet the minimum strength score (see table); otherwise the user will suffer a -4 penalty to attack and -2 penalty to AC, in addition to the AC penalty already listed.
In addition, constructs are not immune to critical hits from a Heavy Greathammer. Sunder attempts made with a Heavy Greathammer are made with an untyped +4 bonus.
