ARS 32-1158.01 does set out requirements for a pool contract, but that does not require that the contractor get the money up-front but does allow a contractor to charge for construction in stages up to 30% when the hole is dug; 30% when the shotcrete and plumbing are in; and 30% when the deck is in.

From Wikipedia:
Shotcrete is concrete (or sometimes mortar) conveyed through a hose and pneumatically projected at high velocity onto a surface, as a construction technique.
Shotcrete is usually an all-inclusive term that can be used for both wet-mix and dry-mix versions. In the pool construction trade however, the term "shotcrete" refers to wet-mix and "gunite" refers to dry-mix; in this context, these two terms are not interchangeable (see "Shotcrete vs. gunite" discussion below).
Shotcrete undergoes placement and compaction at the same time due to the force with which it is projected from the nozzle. It can be impacted onto any type or shape of surface, including vertical or overhead areas.

Generally firmer in texture than snotcrete, though the application method - pneumatically projected at high velocity from the nozzle - is remarkably similar.
