If you're involved in construction in Idaho, chances are you’ve heard about the Idaho Construction General Permit (CGP). This essential permit is required for any construction activity that disturbs more than one acre of land and results in the discharge of stormwater. But did you know that in order to stay compliant with the CGP, you need someone on-site who qualifies as a “Qualified Person”?

That’s where the Idaho Qualified Person (IQP) Course comes in.

Harris to Become Sorren: A Stronger Firm for a Stronger Idaho Business Community

Meridian, Idaho -- Harris, a trusted name in Idaho for decades, is proud to announce that it will officially become Sorren this May. As the founding firm behind this new national brand, Harris is taking a bold step forward — not by joining someone else’s story, but by helping write a new one. In 2024, Idaho firms KDP and Chigbrow Ryan Murata, Chtd. (CRM) joined Harris in its vision for Sorren.

Sorren is a brand new, Top 50 accounting & advisory firm that was created by leaders from respected, like-minded firms from across the country who saw the opportunity to build something better: a national firm rooted in local values, designed to better serve growing businesses and evolving industries.
