Alright /diy/ basically due to this corona stuff I wanna do something nice for my mother.

She has a nice small garden (lives in outskirts of London) and an area behind the garage that would look nice with something such as pic related.

I have no real diy background but both the neighbours are builders and usually help us with projects.
My mum is away visiting the grandchild for a few days. Would it be possible to pop something like this up over a week and how would I do it?
There's space for it to be larger and my father can help.
How much would it cost us?

It could be done in a couple of days if you had some labor to help you. With no /diy/ experience it might be beyond your skill level. I might start by looking for premade or ready to assemble things and then just finishing the interiors.

I build a few sheds op
Normally I go for 38 63 cls HIGH pressure treated (green not yellow) all round, concrete base with plastic spacers to keep the timber out of the wet.
Cladding is where they get you, feather edge or stacked sarking keep the cost down.
You buy a kit itl cost about the same but much much thinner timbers and wobbly.
If you want all nice doors your better off with a kit probably but second hand upvc doors and windows are easy to fit and can be seriously cheap.

with no experience it would be pretty difficult to finish in a week, even with a good set of plans. as others have said, if you need to put it up fast a kit would be your best bet.

take a look at the other shed thread. that shed is much bigger than yours but it still took anon a few months to finish sheathing and roofing with help.
