UD I've always been told to wait 7 days before building on new concrete.

When we poured my shop floor I waited 7 days, then put 2 coats of concrete sealer on, one coat per day, gave the sealer 3 days to dry and then started building, total of 12 days.

Bolt alignment for the plates was good but additional anchors where needed in a couple of locations, after the walls where up, trusses set and outer metal installed we drilled and installed to final anchors.

All told it was 3-4 weeks before those last anchors where drilled and installed.

If you can drill yours in later I don't see a problem.

I do recommend a good coat of concrete sealer to help protect the surface finish and water proof the concrete.
