Description of business and summary of significant accounting policies [Abstract]
Description of business and summary of significant accounting policies	Note 1 - Description of business and summary of significant accounting policies: Nature of business Smith Douglas Homes Corp. (the Company) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on June 20, 2023 (Date of Formation) for the purpose of facilitating an initial public offering (IPO) of its common stock and executing other related transactions in order to carry on the business of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries as a publicly-traded entity. The Company is a builder of single-family homes in communities in certain markets in the southeastern and southern United States. The Company’s homes and communities are primarily targeted to first-time and empty-nest homebuyers. The Company currently operates in metropolitan Atlanta, Birmingham, Charlotte, Huntsville, Nashville, Raleigh and Houston. The Company operates a land-light business model whereby the Company typically purchases finished lots via lot-option contracts from various third-party land developers or land bankers. Additionally, the Company offers title insurance services through an unconsolidated title company. Initial Public Offering and Reorganization Transactions The Company successfully closed an IPO of 8,846,154 shares of Class A common stock at a public offering price of $21.00 per share on January 16, 2024, which included 1,153,846 shares of Class A common stock issued pursuant to the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares of Class A common stock. The net proceeds from the IPO aggregated approximately $172.8 million. Shares of Class A common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "SDHC" on January 11, 2024. In connection with the IPO, Smith Douglas Holdings LLC amended and restated its existing limited liability company agreement to, among other things, (i) recapitalize all existing ownership interests in Smith Douglas Holdings LLC into 44,871,794 LLC Interests (before giving effect to the use of proceeds from the IPO, as described below), (ii) appoint Smith Douglas Homes Corp. as the sole managing member of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC upon its acquisition of LLC Interests in connection with the IPO, and (iii) provide certain redemption rights to the owners of the LLC Interests in Smith Douglas Holdings LLC, exclusive of the Company (the Continuing Equity Owners). Simultaneously, Smith Douglas Homes Corp. amended and restated its certificate of incorporation to, among other things, provide (i) for Class A common stock, with each share of Class A common stock entitling its holder to one vote per share on all matters presented to the stockholders generally; (ii) for Class B common stock, with each share of Class B common stock entitling its holder to ten votes per share on all matters presented to the stockholders generally, until the aggregate number of shares of Class B common stock then outstanding is less than 10% of the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock then outstanding (Sunset Date), and from and after the occurrence of the Sunset Date, each share of Class B common stock will entitle its holder to one vote per share on all matters presented to the stockholders generally; (iii) that shares of Class B common stock may only be held by the Continuing Equity Owners and their respective permitted transferees; and (iv) for preferred stock, which can be issued by the board of directors in one or more series without stockholder approval. As a result, Smith Douglas Homes Corp. became a holding company and the sole managing member of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC and controls the business and affairs of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC. After giving effect to the use of net proceeds as described below, Smith Douglas Homes Corp. issued 42,435,897 shares of Class B common stock to the Continuing Equity Owners, which is equal to the number of LLC Interests held by such Continuing Equity Owners, for nominal consideration. Subsequent to the IPO, Smith Douglas Homes Corp. used the net proceeds to: (i) purchase 6,410,257 newly issued LLC Interests for approximately $125.2 million directly from Smith Douglas Holdings LLC at a price per unit equal to $21.00 per share (IPO price) of Class A common stock less the underwriting discount; and (ii) purchase 2,435,897 LLC Interests from the Continuing Equity Owners on a pro rata basis for $47.6 million in aggregate at a price per unit equal to the IPO price per share of Class A common stock less the underwriting discount. Basis of presentation In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), since the Continuing Equity Owners continue to hold a controlling interest in Smith Douglas Holdings LLC after the IPO (i.e., there was no change in control of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC), the financial statements of the combined entity represent a continuation of the financial position and results of operations of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC. Accordingly, the historical cost basis of assets, liabilities, and equity of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC are carried over to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the combined company as a common control transaction. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods prior to the Reorganization Transactions and IPO have been presented to combine the previously separate entities. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial information. As such, these financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates and for the periods presented. A reclassification to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes has been made to the prior year amount to conform to the current year presentation, which is not material. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Historically, the homebuilding industry has experienced seasonal fluctuations; therefore, interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year. Principles of consolidation and non-controlling interests The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Smith Douglas Homes Corp. and Smith Douglas Holdings LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Smith Douglas Holdings LLC is considered a variable interest entity and Smith Douglas Homes Corp. is the primary beneficiary and sole managing member of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC and has decision making authority that significantly affects the performance of the entity. Accordingly, the Company consolidates Smith Douglas Holdings LLC and reports non-controlling interests representing the economic interest in Smith Douglas Holdings LLC held by the Continuing Equity Owners. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in unconsolidated entities in which the Company has less than a controlling financial interest are accounted for using the equity method. The non-controlling interests in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 represent the portion of earnings attributable to the economic interest in Smith Douglas Holdings LLC held by the Continuing Equity Owners. The non-controlling interests in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024 represent the portion of the net assets of the Company attributable to the Continuing Equity Owners, based on the portion of the LLC Interests owned by such unit holders. As of June 30, 2024, the non-controlling interests were 82.7%. Use of estimates in the preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Business combination On July 31, 2023, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Devon Street Homes, L.P. (Devon Street) and accounted for the transaction as a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 805, Business Combinations Revenue recognition The Company recognizes revenue when a home closes with a homebuyer, which is the time at which title and possession of the property are transferred to that homebuyer and all cash consideration due from the homebuyer is received. The Company’s performance obligation, to deliver the home, is generally satisfied in less than one year from the original contract date. When the Company executes sales contracts with its homebuyers, or when it requires advance payment from homebuyers for custom changes, upgrades or options related to their homes, the cash deposits received are recorded as contract liabilities until the homes are closed or the contracts are canceled. The Company either retains or refunds to the customer deposits on canceled sales contracts, depending upon the applicable provisions of the contract or other circumstances. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, customer deposits totaled $9.5 million and $7.2 million, respectively. Substantially all customer deposits are recognized in revenue within one year of being received from homebuyers. Share-based payments Share-based compensation is accounted for as an expense in accordance with the fair value recognition and measurement provisions of U.S. GAAP which requires compensation cost for the grant-date fair value of equity-based awards to be recognized over the requisite service period. The Company accounts for forfeitures when they occur, and any compensation expense previously recognized on unvested equity-based awards will be reversed when forfeited. The fair value of restricted stock units (RSUs) is based on the fair value of the Class A common stock at the time of grant. Income taxes After consummation of the IPO, Smith Douglas Homes Corp. became subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes with respect to its allocable share of taxable income of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC assessed at the prevailing corporate tax rates. Smith Douglas Holdings LLC operates as a limited liability company and is treated as a partnership for income tax purposes. Accordingly, it incurs no significant liability for federal or state income taxes since the taxable income or loss is passed through to its members. Smith Douglas Holdings LLC incurs liabilities for certain state taxes payable directly by it, which are not significant and for which the expense is included in the provision for income taxes in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and in selling, general and administrative costs in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. In calculating the provision for interim income taxes, in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes For annual periods, income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated by applying existing tax laws and the rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the year of the enacted rate change. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no known items which would result in a significant accrual for uncertain tax positions. Tax receivable agreement In connection with the IPO and related transactions, the Company entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement (TRA) with Smith Douglas Holdings LLC and the Continuing Equity Owners that will provide for the payment by Smith Douglas Homes Corp. to the Continuing Equity Owners of 85% of the amount of tax benefits, if any, that Smith Douglas Homes Corp. realizes (or in some circumstances is deemed to realize) related to the tax basis adjustments described in Note 12 as such savings are realized. In addition to tax expenses, the Company will also make payments under the TRA, which are expected to be significant. The Company will account for the income tax effects and corresponding TRA’s effects resulting from future taxable purchases or redemptions of LLC Interests of the Continuing Equity Owners by recognizing an increase in deferred tax assets, based on enacted tax rates at the date of the purchase or redemption. Further, the Company will evaluate the likelihood that it will realize the benefit represented by the deferred tax asset and, to the extent that management estimates that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefit, the Company will reduce the carrying amount of the deferred tax asset with a valuation allowance. The amounts to be recorded for both the deferred tax assets and the liability for obligations under the TRA will be estimated at the time of any purchase or redemption as a reduction to stockholders’ equity, and the effects of changes in any estimates after this date will be included in net income. Similarly, the effect of subsequent changes in the enacted tax rates will be included in net income. Judgement is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements. A change in the Company’s assessment of such consequences, such as realization of deferred tax assets, changes in tax laws or interpretations thereof could materially impact results. Recent rules and accounting pronouncements In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures" (ASU 2023-07), which requires expanded disclosure of significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis. ASU 2023-07 is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after January 1, 2024 and interim periods beginning after January 1, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2023-07 will have on its financial statement disclosures. In December 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (ASU 2023-09), which requires expanded disclosure of the Company’s income rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after January 1, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2023-09 will have on its financial statement disclosures. In March 2024, the SEC adopted the final rules that will require certain climate-related information in registration statements and annual reports. In April 2024, the SEC voluntarily stayed the new rules as a result of pending legal challenges. The new rules include a requirement to disclose material climate-related risks, descriptions of board oversight and risk management activities, the material impacts of these risks on a registrants' strategy, business model and outlook, and any material climate-related targets or goals, as well as material effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions and greenhouse gas emissions. Prior to the stay in the new rules, they would have been effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2025, except for the greenhouse gas emissions disclosure which would have been effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2026. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these rules on its disclosures.

Variable interest entities	Jun. 30, 2024
Variable interest entities [Abstract]
Variable interest entities	Note 3 ‑ Variable interest entities: The Company enters into lot option agreements to procure finished lots for the construction of homes in the future. Pursuant to these option agreements, the Company generally provides a deposit to the seller as consideration for the right to purchase lots at different times in the future at predetermined prices. Such contracts enable the Company to defer acquiring portions of properties owned by third parties or unconsolidated entities until the Company has determined whether and when to exercise the option, which may serve to reduce the Company’s financial risks associated with long‑term land holdings. Based on the provisions of the relevant accounting guidance, the Company has concluded that when it enters into an option or purchase agreement to acquire lots from an entity, a variable interest entity (VIE) may be created. The Company evaluates all option and purchase agreements and amendments for land to determine if the related entity is a VIE. As required by ASC Topic 810, Consolidation In all cases, creditors of the entities with which the Company has option agreements have no recourse against the Company and the maximum exposure to loss in option agreements is limited to the Company’s option deposits and any capitalized pre‑acquisition costs. In certain instances where the Company has entered into option agreements to purchase finished lots from a land banker, the Company may also enter into an agreement to complete the development of the lots on behalf of the land banker at a fixed cost. The Company may be at risk for items over budget related to the development of the property under option. Any unpaid amounts under these development agreements are recorded as development reimbursement receivables from land bankers and are included within other assets in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had deposits of $66.3 million related to land option agreements with an aggregate remaining purchase price of $834.4 million. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had deposits of $57.1 million related to land option agreements with an aggregate remaining purchase price of $652.1 million. For lot option contracts where the lot seller entity is not required to be consolidated under the variable interest model, the Company considers whether such contracts should be accounted for as financing arrangements. Lot option contracts that may be considered financing arrangements include those entered into with third‑party land banks or developers in conjunction with such third parties acquiring a specific land parcel(s) on the Company’s behalf, at the Company’s direction, and those with other landowners where the Company or its designee makes improvements to the optioned land parcel(s) during the applicable option period. For these lot option contracts, the Company records the remaining purchase price of the associated land parcel(s) in inventory in its consolidated balance sheets with a corresponding financing obligation if the Company determines that it is effectively compelled to exercise the option to purchase the land parcel(s). In making this determination with respect to a land option contracts, the Company considers the non‑refundable deposit(s), any capitalized pre‑acquisition costs and additional costs associated with abandoning the contract. As a result of such evaluations of lot option contracts, no lot option contracts were determined to be financing arrangements for which the remaining purchase price should be recorded as a financing obligation in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Amended Credit Facility matures in January 2027 The borrowings and letters of credit outstanding under the Amended Credit Facility may not exceed the borrowing base as defined in the Amended Credit Facility. The borrowing base primarily consists of a percentage of commercial land, land held for development, lots under development and finished lots held by the Company. Borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility bear interest, at the borrower’s option, at either a base rate or Secured Overnight Financing Rate (which may be a daily simple rate or based on 1-, 3- or 6-month interest periods, in each case at the borrower’s option), plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from 2.35% to 3.00% based on the Company’s leverage ratio as determined in accordance with a pricing grid defined in the Amended Credit Facility. Interest is payable in arrears on the last business day of each month or at the end of each 1-, 3- or 6-month interest period, as applicable.

Fair value of financial instruments	Jun. 30, 2024
Fair value of financial instruments [Abstract]
Fair value of financial instruments	Note 6 ‑ Fair value of financial instruments: ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and disclosing fair value measurements. ASC Topic 820 establishes a three‑level hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in measuring fair value. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability on the measurement date. • Level 1 ‑ Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; • Level 2 ‑ Valuation is determined from quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, or by model‑based techniques in which all significant inputs are observable in the market; • Level 3 ‑ Valuation is derived from model‑based techniques in which at least one significant input is unobservable and based on the Company’s own estimates about the assumptions that market participants would use to value the asset or liability. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of particular inputs to those fair value measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset or liability. The Company’s financial instruments measured or disclosed at fair value are summarized below. The summary excludes cash and cash equivalents, receivables and accounts payable, all of which had fair values approximating their carrying values due to the liquid nature and short maturities of these instruments. Fair Value (In Thousands) Asset or Liability Fair Value Hierarchy June 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 Measured at fair value on a recurring basis: Contingent consideration Level 3 $ 4,590 $ 3,282 Disclosed at fair value: Borrowings under Credit Facility Level 2 $ — $ 71,000 Seller note payable Level 2 $ 3,859 $ 4,627 The carrying value of the borrowings under the Credit Facility approximates fair value due to variable rate terms that approximate market rates. The carrying value of the seller note payable approximates fair value because the interest rate on the note approximates market rates as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The fair value of the contingent consideration related to the Devon Street acquisition as of the acquisition date was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation to model the likelihood of achieving the agreed‑upon gross margin target based on available information as of the acquisition date. The valuation methodology includes assumptions and judgments regarding the gross margin discount rate, gross margin volatility, drift rate, and cost of debt, which are primarily Level 3 assumptions. The contingent consideration liability is remeasured at fair value on a quarterly basis. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company remeasured the fair value of contingent consideration related to the Devon Street acquisition and adjusted the liability to $4.6 million and $3.3 million, respectively, based on actual results achieved, revised gross margin forecasts, and accretion of the liability. The Company recorded contingent consideration adjustments resulting in $1.2 million of expense and $1.3 million of expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, which is included in other expense (income), net in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income. As of June 30, 2024, there were approximately 8 months remaining under the contingent consideration agreement.

Income taxes and tax receivable agreement [Abstract]
Income taxes and tax receivable agreement	Note 12 - Income taxes and tax receivable agreement: Smith Douglas Homes Corp. is taxed as a subchapter C corporation and is subject to federal and state income taxes. Smith Douglas Homes Corp.’s sole material asset is its ownership interest in Smith Douglas Holdings LLC, which is a limited liability company that is taxed as a partnership for U.S. federal and certain state and local income tax purposes. Smith Douglas Holdings LLC’s net taxable income and related tax credits, if any, are passed through to its members and included in the members’ tax returns. The income tax burden on the earnings taxed to the non-controlling interest holders is not reported by the Company in its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements under U.S. GAAP. The estimated annual effective tax rate for the year ending December 31, 2024 is 20.8%. The difference between the estimated annual effective income tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate is primarily attributable to income allocable to non-controlling interests, which is not taxable, Smith Douglas Holdings LLC’s election to be taxed at the entity level, and state income taxes. The Company’s income tax provision was $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and $2.0 million for the period from January 11, 2024 to June 30, 2024. As the IPO occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2024, and the Company had no business transactions or activities prior to the IPO, no amounts related to the provision for income taxes were incurred for the period from January 1, 2024 to January 10, 2024. The Company recorded a deferred tax asset of $10.5 million resulting from the step-up in basis allowed under Section 743(b) and 197 of the Internal Revenue Code related to the purchase of 2,435,897 LLC Interests from the Continuing Equity Owners discussed in Note 1, Description of business and summary of significant accounting policies, which is expected to be amortized over the useful lives of the underlying assets. The Company also recorded a deferred tax asset of $15.1 million resulting from the outside basis difference related to its investment in Smith Douglas Holdings LLC by applying the look-through method to record the Company's proportionate share of inside basis differences within Smith Douglas Holdings LLC. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent it believes these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent results of operations. After considering all those factors, management has recorded a valuation allowance of $14.3 million for certain deferred tax assets the Company has determined are not more likely than not to be realized. The initial deferred tax asset of $15.1 million for the investment in Smith Douglas Holdings LLC and the related valuation allowance of $14.3 million were recorded against additional paid-in capital and included within increase in deferred tax asset from IPO and related transactions in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’/members’ equity. As each of the Continuing Equity Owners elects to convert their LLC Interests into Class A common stock, Smith Douglas Homes Corp. will succeed to their aggregate historical tax basis which will create a net tax benefit to the Company. These tax benefits are expected to be amortized over 15.0 years pursuant to Sections 743(b) and 197 of the Code. The Company will only recognize a deferred tax asset for financial reporting purposes when it is more likely than not that the tax benefit will be realized. In connection with the IPO and related transactions, the Company entered into a TRA with Smith Douglas Holdings LLC and the Continuing Equity Owners that will provide for the payment by Smith Douglas Homes Corp. to the Continuing Equity Owners of 85% of the amount of tax benefits, if any, that Smith Douglas Homes Corp. realizes (or in some circumstances is deemed to realize) related to the tax basis adjustments as such savings are realized. The purchase of 2,435,897 LLC Interests from the Continuing Equity Owners triggered a tax basis increase subject to the provisions of the TRA. The Company recognized (i) a deferred tax asset in the amount of $10.5 million, (ii) a corresponding estimated liability of $10.4 million to the Continuing Equity Owners representing 85% of the projected tax benefits, and (iii) $0.1 million of additional paid-in capital.

Earnings per share	Jun. 30, 2024
Earnings per share [Abstract]
Earnings per share	Note 15 - Earnings per share: Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Smith Douglas Homes Corp. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by adjusting the net income available to Smith Douglas Homes Corp. and the weighted average shares outstanding to give effect to potentially dilutive securities. Shares of Class B common stock are not entitled to receive any distributions or dividends and are therefore excluded from this presentation since they are not participating securities. All earnings prior to January 11, 2024, the date of the IPO, were entirely allocable to the non-controlling interests and, as a result, earnings per share information is not applicable for reporting periods prior to this date. Consequently, only earnings per share for net income for periods subsequent to January 10, 2024 are presented. Basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock have been computed as follows (in thousands, except share and per share amounts): For the three months ended June 30, 2024 For the period from January 11, 2024 to June 30, 2024 Numerator: Net income attributable to Smith Douglas Homes Corp., Basic $ 3,646 $ 6,618 Add: Net income impact from assumed redemption of all LLC Interests to common stock 21,088 39,762 Less: Income tax expense on net income attributable to NCI at 20.8 (4,384 ) (8,267 ) Net income attributable to Smith Douglas Homes Corp., after adjustment for assumed redemption, Diluted $ 20,350 $ 38,113 Denominator: Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding, Basic 8,846,154 8,846,154 Dilutive effects of: LLC Interests that are exchangeable for common stock 42,435,897 42,435,897 Unvested RSUs 149,923 132,458 Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding, Diluted 51,431,974 51,414,509 Basic earnings per share $ 0.41 $ 0.75 Diluted earnings per share $ 0.40 $ 0.74 Net income attributable to the non-controlling interests added back to net income in the fully dilutive computation has been adjusted for income taxes which would have been expensed had the income been recognized by Smith Douglas Homes Corp., a taxable entity. The weighted average common shares outstanding in the diluted computation per share assumes all outstanding LLC Interests are redeemed and the Company elects to issue Class A shares of common stock upon redemption rather than cash-settle. The dilutive impact of LLC Interests assumed to be redeemed in exchange for the issuance of Class A common stock was included in the computation of diluted earnings per share under the if-converted method. The dilutive impact of unvested RSUs was included using the treasury stock method.

Description of business and summary of significant accounting policies [Abstract]
Nature of business	Nature of business Smith Douglas Homes Corp. (the Company) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on June 20, 2023 (Date of Formation) for the purpose of facilitating an initial public offering (IPO) of its common stock and executing other related transactions in order to carry on the business of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries as a publicly-traded entity. The Company is a builder of single-family homes in communities in certain markets in the southeastern and southern United States. The Company’s homes and communities are primarily targeted to first-time and empty-nest homebuyers. The Company currently operates in metropolitan Atlanta, Birmingham, Charlotte, Huntsville, Nashville, Raleigh and Houston. The Company operates a land-light business model whereby the Company typically purchases finished lots via lot-option contracts from various third-party land developers or land bankers. Additionally, the Company offers title insurance services through an unconsolidated title company.
Initial Public Offering and Reorganization Transactions	Initial Public Offering and Reorganization Transactions The Company successfully closed an IPO of 8,846,154 shares of Class A common stock at a public offering price of $21.00 per share on January 16, 2024, which included 1,153,846 shares of Class A common stock issued pursuant to the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares of Class A common stock. The net proceeds from the IPO aggregated approximately $172.8 million. Shares of Class A common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "SDHC" on January 11, 2024. In connection with the IPO, Smith Douglas Holdings LLC amended and restated its existing limited liability company agreement to, among other things, (i) recapitalize all existing ownership interests in Smith Douglas Holdings LLC into 44,871,794 LLC Interests (before giving effect to the use of proceeds from the IPO, as described below), (ii) appoint Smith Douglas Homes Corp. as the sole managing member of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC upon its acquisition of LLC Interests in connection with the IPO, and (iii) provide certain redemption rights to the owners of the LLC Interests in Smith Douglas Holdings LLC, exclusive of the Company (the Continuing Equity Owners). Simultaneously, Smith Douglas Homes Corp. amended and restated its certificate of incorporation to, among other things, provide (i) for Class A common stock, with each share of Class A common stock entitling its holder to one vote per share on all matters presented to the stockholders generally; (ii) for Class B common stock, with each share of Class B common stock entitling its holder to ten votes per share on all matters presented to the stockholders generally, until the aggregate number of shares of Class B common stock then outstanding is less than 10% of the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock then outstanding (Sunset Date), and from and after the occurrence of the Sunset Date, each share of Class B common stock will entitle its holder to one vote per share on all matters presented to the stockholders generally; (iii) that shares of Class B common stock may only be held by the Continuing Equity Owners and their respective permitted transferees; and (iv) for preferred stock, which can be issued by the board of directors in one or more series without stockholder approval. As a result, Smith Douglas Homes Corp. became a holding company and the sole managing member of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC and controls the business and affairs of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC. After giving effect to the use of net proceeds as described below, Smith Douglas Homes Corp. issued 42,435,897 shares of Class B common stock to the Continuing Equity Owners, which is equal to the number of LLC Interests held by such Continuing Equity Owners, for nominal consideration. Subsequent to the IPO, Smith Douglas Homes Corp. used the net proceeds to: (i) purchase 6,410,257 newly issued LLC Interests for approximately $125.2 million directly from Smith Douglas Holdings LLC at a price per unit equal to $21.00 per share (IPO price) of Class A common stock less the underwriting discount; and (ii) purchase 2,435,897 LLC Interests from the Continuing Equity Owners on a pro rata basis for $47.6 million in aggregate at a price per unit equal to the IPO price per share of Class A common stock less the underwriting discount.
Basis of presentation	Basis of presentation In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), since the Continuing Equity Owners continue to hold a controlling interest in Smith Douglas Holdings LLC after the IPO (i.e., there was no change in control of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC), the financial statements of the combined entity represent a continuation of the financial position and results of operations of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC. Accordingly, the historical cost basis of assets, liabilities, and equity of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC are carried over to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the combined company as a common control transaction. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods prior to the Reorganization Transactions and IPO have been presented to combine the previously separate entities. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial information. As such, these financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates and for the periods presented. A reclassification to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes has been made to the prior year amount to conform to the current year presentation, which is not material. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Historically, the homebuilding industry has experienced seasonal fluctuations; therefore, interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.
Principles of consolidation and non-controlling interests	Principles of consolidation and non-controlling interests The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Smith Douglas Homes Corp. and Smith Douglas Holdings LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Smith Douglas Holdings LLC is considered a variable interest entity and Smith Douglas Homes Corp. is the primary beneficiary and sole managing member of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC and has decision making authority that significantly affects the performance of the entity. Accordingly, the Company consolidates Smith Douglas Holdings LLC and reports non-controlling interests representing the economic interest in Smith Douglas Holdings LLC held by the Continuing Equity Owners. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in unconsolidated entities in which the Company has less than a controlling financial interest are accounted for using the equity method. The non-controlling interests in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 represent the portion of earnings attributable to the economic interest in Smith Douglas Holdings LLC held by the Continuing Equity Owners. The non-controlling interests in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024 represent the portion of the net assets of the Company attributable to the Continuing Equity Owners, based on the portion of the LLC Interests owned by such unit holders. As of June 30, 2024, the non-controlling interests were 82.7%.
Use of estimates in the preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements	Use of estimates in the preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Business combination	Business combination On July 31, 2023, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Devon Street Homes, L.P. (Devon Street) and accounted for the transaction as a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 805, Business Combinations
Revenue recognition	Revenue recognition The Company recognizes revenue when a home closes with a homebuyer, which is the time at which title and possession of the property are transferred to that homebuyer and all cash consideration due from the homebuyer is received. The Company’s performance obligation, to deliver the home, is generally satisfied in less than one year from the original contract date. When the Company executes sales contracts with its homebuyers, or when it requires advance payment from homebuyers for custom changes, upgrades or options related to their homes, the cash deposits received are recorded as contract liabilities until the homes are closed or the contracts are canceled. The Company either retains or refunds to the customer deposits on canceled sales contracts, depending upon the applicable provisions of the contract or other circumstances. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, customer deposits totaled $9.5 million and $7.2 million, respectively. Substantially all customer deposits are recognized in revenue within one year of being received from homebuyers.
Share-based payments	Share-based payments Share-based compensation is accounted for as an expense in accordance with the fair value recognition and measurement provisions of U.S. GAAP which requires compensation cost for the grant-date fair value of equity-based awards to be recognized over the requisite service period. The Company accounts for forfeitures when they occur, and any compensation expense previously recognized on unvested equity-based awards will be reversed when forfeited. The fair value of restricted stock units (RSUs) is based on the fair value of the Class A common stock at the time of grant.
Income taxes	Income taxes After consummation of the IPO, Smith Douglas Homes Corp. became subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes with respect to its allocable share of taxable income of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC assessed at the prevailing corporate tax rates. Smith Douglas Holdings LLC operates as a limited liability company and is treated as a partnership for income tax purposes. Accordingly, it incurs no significant liability for federal or state income taxes since the taxable income or loss is passed through to its members. Smith Douglas Holdings LLC incurs liabilities for certain state taxes payable directly by it, which are not significant and for which the expense is included in the provision for income taxes in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and in selling, general and administrative costs in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. In calculating the provision for interim income taxes, in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes For annual periods, income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated by applying existing tax laws and the rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the year of the enacted rate change. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no known items which would result in a significant accrual for uncertain tax positions.
Tax receivable agreement	Tax receivable agreement In connection with the IPO and related transactions, the Company entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement (TRA) with Smith Douglas Holdings LLC and the Continuing Equity Owners that will provide for the payment by Smith Douglas Homes Corp. to the Continuing Equity Owners of 85% of the amount of tax benefits, if any, that Smith Douglas Homes Corp. realizes (or in some circumstances is deemed to realize) related to the tax basis adjustments described in Note 12 as such savings are realized. In addition to tax expenses, the Company will also make payments under the TRA, which are expected to be significant. The Company will account for the income tax effects and corresponding TRA’s effects resulting from future taxable purchases or redemptions of LLC Interests of the Continuing Equity Owners by recognizing an increase in deferred tax assets, based on enacted tax rates at the date of the purchase or redemption. Further, the Company will evaluate the likelihood that it will realize the benefit represented by the deferred tax asset and, to the extent that management estimates that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefit, the Company will reduce the carrying amount of the deferred tax asset with a valuation allowance. The amounts to be recorded for both the deferred tax assets and the liability for obligations under the TRA will be estimated at the time of any purchase or redemption as a reduction to stockholders’ equity, and the effects of changes in any estimates after this date will be included in net income. Similarly, the effect of subsequent changes in the enacted tax rates will be included in net income. Judgement is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements. A change in the Company’s assessment of such consequences, such as realization of deferred tax assets, changes in tax laws or interpretations thereof could materially impact results.
Recent accounting pronouncements	Recent rules and accounting pronouncements In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures" (ASU 2023-07), which requires expanded disclosure of significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis. ASU 2023-07 is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after January 1, 2024 and interim periods beginning after January 1, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2023-07 will have on its financial statement disclosures. In December 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (ASU 2023-09), which requires expanded disclosure of the Company’s income rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after January 1, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2023-09 will have on its financial statement disclosures. In March 2024, the SEC adopted the final rules that will require certain climate-related information in registration statements and annual reports. In April 2024, the SEC voluntarily stayed the new rules as a result of pending legal challenges. The new rules include a requirement to disclose material climate-related risks, descriptions of board oversight and risk management activities, the material impacts of these risks on a registrants' strategy, business model and outlook, and any material climate-related targets or goals, as well as material effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions and greenhouse gas emissions. Prior to the stay in the new rules, they would have been effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2025, except for the greenhouse gas emissions disclosure which would have been effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2026. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these rules on its disclosures.
