Mar 8, 2012 at 19:26 comment added dbracey I think he's proposing just making some room for the ends of the bolts, and still using the toggle - not screwing into the concrete.

Mar 8, 2012 at 19:18 comment added Steven If there is a big hollow space I don't think you want to screw into the concrete - there will be a lot of shear force on the screw and it might not hold it since it's not designed for a large gap between load and the surface its being anchored to. Cut the screw to the desired length instead and stick with the toggle.
Mar 8, 2012 at 19:12 comment added cqm how can I tell what material it is? I can only shine a flashlight through the hole and see there is something hard there that is not wood. The outside of the building is bricks with concrete in between the bricks
