An anchor assembly and a method of installing the same so as to secure an object to an underlying substructure comprises an insert member having an internally threaded bore, and an externally threaded headed bolt member for threaded engagement within said threaded bore of the insert member. A through-bore is formed within the object to be secured to the substructure, and the insert is inserted into the lower end portion of the through-bore, while the bolt member is inserted into the upper end portion of the through-bore whereby the bolt and insert members are threaded together. If the object is to be secured to a freshly poured batch of concrete material which will form the underlying substructure when the same hardens and sets, the lower end portion of the insert member is inserted into the freshly poured concrete which is then permitted to harden and set, whereas if the object is to be secured to an existing concrete foundation, a bore is formed within the concrete foundation, adhesive is deposited within the bore, and the insert member is inserted into the adhesive material which is then permitted to harden and set.
