Loan Approval: Sweat Equity Report

Good Morning BP Community,

I'm currently working on getting approval from my lender to purchase my second property in Chicago (Logan Square) and will be doing so using a loan with 25% down, 10% percent being cash and the remaining being sweat equity. My lender is requesting a report stating what I plan to do to the building, so I sent over a standard contractor's agreement. They didn't like that because it doesn't decipher between materials and sweat equity.  So I'm reaching out to see if anyone has an example of a professional report stating their sweat equity?

Thank you in advance!

Do a Google search for a "scope of work template".

Breaking it down by task might be what they need.
