Default Can you place anchors in a concrete slab at a later date?

If you really cheap a learned a great trick years ago. If you ever need to
tie some 2x4's etc to concrete drill s 5/32 hold through the 2x4 and the
concrete drop in a piece of 14 gauge copper wire and then bound in a 3 1/2
nail. IF you don't believe me try is and then try pulling it out. YOU WON'T
WITHOUT BREAKING THE NAIL.... The copper expands into the concrete and it
stays there...

We are having a concrete driveway put in next week and we want to put up a
16x16 out building next year. I am having the pad for the building done at
the same time as the driveway. For safety reasons I don't want the
contractor putting in the threaded anchors for the walls during the pour.
How can I install these anchors next year when we are ready to put up the
building?

Thanks for any help.
