get a hammer drill, drill the hole, get some Hilti hit or some other sort of adhesive, get the bolts in place then drop the wall over the holes and secure with the nuts + washers
he said it was 12'x8'(high), that's full height in most houses hence my question

you're recommendation for bolting to concrete is WAY overkill......hammer drill 5/8" bit, wire and 3 1/4" duplex nails ever 2' is more than enough to keep that wall from moving......you can use screw in anchors is you want but epoxying rod is way too much, it's not a structural wall......same with the straps, only used in load bearing walls
