Job site Measuring import into Sketchup

Is there an App that can be used to take measurements or a scan of a space? If so what is that app?

Automatic Architectural Survey?

Hi all Where I’m making my internship in architecture two people have spent perhaps a full week in total measuring an old office building to get proper drawings of it as it is now before design any additions/modifications to it. The building has numerous staircases, a tower, an air raid shelter from WWII and is immensely complex. There must be a simpler way of doing this than manually sketch plans and sections and measure all relevant dimensions with a laser measuring device and then draft draw…

As @RTCool said, the price of a fancy scanner is hard to justify for occasional use.
I think documenting field measurements directly into SU is the way to go.
A laptop (with numeric keypad) and a video camera for photos and audio notation.
