=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("HIGH",AB28))*ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Ground Beams/ Suspended in-situ Concrete Floor",AC28)),150,IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("MEDIUM",AB28))*ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Ground Beams/ Suspended in-situ Concrete Floor",AC28)),100))

The IF formula returns the expected result.

With IFS it would be:

 

=IFS(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("HIGH",AB28))*ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Ground Beams/ Suspended in-situ Concrete Floor",AC28)),

150,

ISNUMBER(SEARCH("MEDIUM",AB28))*ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Ground Beams/ Suspended in-situ Concrete Floor",AC28)),

100)
