I have been tasked with building a shed

Unjustifiably in a position that I'd rather not be in.

Long story short: My parents asked me and my brother to build a shed on my aunt and uncles backyard. My aunt and uncle actually suggested this to them so they can store some of their stuff. Parents aren't in the country to help so really up to me and my brother. I'm looking to get a house next year so this might be a temporary fixture for now. They already bought the shed so we are kinda stuck here.

The plastic shed (7 ft x 9.5 ft) will be placed on their backyard and potentially on top of grass. I prefer to minimize or not dig at all to that when we do move the shed in a year the remediation would be easy.

So far what I've gathered is to:

1. Place a heavy landscape fabric on top of the grass.
2. Use pier deck blocks to form the corners of a floor joist
3. Place a subfloor on top of the joist
4. Place the plastic deck on top of the subfloor

Can someone provide some tips of where I might screw up? I know that the suggested way is to dig and put gravel on the base. Would that be easier?
