OpenSCAD is completely the wrong tool for the job. You want a graphical parametric modeller. The only vaguely decent FOSS one is SolveSpace. It's a bit lacking for actual CAD (no fillets!) but it works fine for 2D layout.
I have actually used it for that (actually I did full 3D modelling of part of my house) and it worked ok, however I would say that measuring things with a laser and copying them into CAD is not a very accurate way to do things.
You will end up with large accumulated errors, and most houses are not as square as you think they are.
I haven't ever used one but I suspect those phone based AR measurement apps have a good chance of being more accurate.
