He built and paid from his own money the Aqueduct to bring water from the springs in "La Cañada" (the Ravine) to the city of Querétaro, which includes the 74-arch aqueduct, now a landmark. He is considered the main benefactor of the town.

In 1756, Urrutia directed the construction of La Casa de la Marquesa, (House of the Marchioness), a beautiful home for his wife. The mansion, a colonial architectural landmark, is now a luxury hotel and tourist attraction.
