Huggins Place Housing Complex (Huggins Place) is a social housing complex located at Huggins Place (off Hills Road), Edgeware, Christchurch, 8013. It consists of 30 residential studio units (numbered 1 to 37, as there is no number 13 or even numbers from 26 to 36) which were constructed in 1958 and remodelled in 1988. The units are grouped together to form eight blocks of either three or four units.

The residential units are timber-framed buildings with diagonal timber braces. The roof structure comprises of timber roof framing supporting light-weight metal roofs with timber sarking. The walls and ceilings are lined with plasterboard. External walls are clad with a light timber veneer. Foundations consist of ordinary concrete piles with a concrete perimeter wall. The extension, constructed in 1988, is also founded on concrete piles with a concrete perimeter wall. The units are separated by 190mm block masonry fire walls which (based on information available for other similar blocks of the same era) is potentially filled with reinforcement to its perimeter. A reinforced bond beam is assumed to be located at ceiling height within the block fire wall.

Huggins Place has suffered moderate damage to structural and non-structural elements as a result of the earthquakes that have occurred in Christchurch over recent years. This included cracking of the weatherboard veneer cladding due to settlement of the perimeter wall and shear cracking. There is also cracking to both the render and the concrete of the perimeter footing in all residential unit blocks. Cracking was severe in the extension perimeter walls of block F and G. This damage was deemed low enough to not affect the capacities of the buildings.

The intended Contract Works will involve repairs and strengthening works as detailed in the Tender Documents.
