@JAE is it allowed to put a new column directly at the top of the existing foundation? if not, meaning I need to offset the column based on the existing foundation?
@hookie Im thinking about the installation on what will be the minimum access for certain activity like fixing the bolt.
@agent666 yeah I think that one should be consider too. the room is actually a pantry below the proposed mezzanine
thank you guys

In terms of minimum access, I would argue that 6" is sufficient, provided they install the anchor into the concrete ahead of time. 6" is more than enough room to get a power drill in there to tighten the bolt. But the more room you give them, the less complaining you'll receive.
