Abstract: Following the expanding amount of BIM data used in rail transit projects, data validity has become one of the critical elements in the collaborative work at all stages. Based on IFC standard, the results of implementing effective BIM data check for rail transit are analyzed. According to the full express of the rail transit BIM data, the template matching method is proposed to establish an effective checking platform for BIM date，in order to achieve the effective check of rail transit BIM objects and the attribute information. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed method is verified by a practical engineering case test.
