The WORST sketchups ever (pic included) how do i deal with this??

OK, so i have 8 houses with 3 floors a piece that I need to draft up in cad.

 

The guy who took the measurements gave me 24 sketches of 24 floors that look like this.

 

.

.

 

The problem is that when I add up all of the measurments on adjacent walls, they are different. 

 

How can I make something that is supposed to be a rectangular object in cad when walls are different specs?

 

Its hard to see in the picture. Does anybody know what I mean? Have you ever had to draft something that doesnt add up logically?

 

Is there an option in cad to make a lopsided house??????

 

The left side is 34'11'' and the right side is 33'7''

 

ideas?

I believe the guy that made the sketches ran out of paper (or patience)  From what I can tell, the descrepency is mostly because the walls were not shown with any thickness on the right side.of the sketch.

 

I guess it depends on how accurate the drawings need to be.  You can probably get most of it right through reasoning and deduction, but if you need accurate cad drawings, you'll need accurate information to work from.  (ie have them re-surveyed by someone with more experience)

Im downloading autodesk architecture.

 

Is this easier to use for floorplans than basic CAD?

You have a complete mess of a survey my friend: forgive my language but you were handed garbage.
No cad software is going to miraculously fix that mess: you need a much better survey to start with first.
