Possibly. If the contract was signed with no intention of performing the work, or if he/she does not order the materials as agreed, it could be criminal fraud or larceny.

However, this sort of thing is normally handled through civil lawsuits.

Most often, the "victim" would simply prefer to get their money paid back than to see the contractor go to jail and then be unable to repay them.
