My role as a Superintendent with Saddletree Homes is to oversee the build of your home from planning to completion. My duties are to manage, plan, and schedule the daily operations on the construction site. After 20 years in construction, 13 of those years as a Superintendent, I take pride in building and delivering a beautiful home that exceeds our clients expectations. Being a part of this process, from working with our great clients and working with such a great team, it never gets old seeing our clients smiles when they walk into their finished home.
In my spare time I enjoy watching football and rooting for my San Francisco 49ers! I also enjoy bbq'ing and spending time with my family and friends.

Typical duties described in a Construction Assistant position include monitoring costs, ordering construction materials, liaising with contractors, coordinating workers, identifying construction project mistakes, and making sure safety standards are being followed. The best part about it all is getting to learn new things from multiple perspectives and people to help contribute to future growth.

Harlan Mager
Architectural Designer
Aloha, my name is Harlan and my specialty and primary roll at Saddletree Homes is exterior and interior Architectural Design. I have been designing and crafting most all of Saddletree's exteriors for a majority of their history in Colorado Springs, creating the award-winning curb appeal Saddletree is so famously known for. Although most of my time is spent in the office on designs and plan production, I also spend some time in the field, working together with our field team and trades to insure that design integrity is carried into construction. My department is sometimes referred to as "The Land of And", since I can help design almost infinite possibilities to the buyer's content. This means my favorite thing about working at Saddletree is the opportunity to personally work together with buyers and the creative freedom we have to express their individual needs and wants in regards to living space and functional design quality into every aspect of their home.
