Civil engineer, here. The 25% increase is a highly local rule of thumb. It depends of local custom and on the type of soil. Some soils shrink and swell more than others.

So if I build a building pad that is 20x25x2 feet, which has a volume of 40CY taking shrinkage into consideration after compaction. If I add 25% which would bring me to 50CY. Is that a good way to go about calculating how much material I should quote/order to avoid coming up short after compaction?

So from dense to least dense condition we have; CCY > BCY > LCY Agree ?

Uses too many acronyms making the explanations harder to follow. Instead of overusing LCY, BCY, AND CCY just say banked, loose or compacted.
